From the bestselling authors of The Montessori Toddler and The Montessori Baby, this book guides parents through the principles of Montessori to enhance their children's development and foster respectful relationships with their families and the world. When children are given independence, the tools to succeed, and the encouragement to build on their abilities, it’s amazing what they can achieve. The newest book in the bestselling Montessori series is an everything-you-need-to-know guide to raising your school-aged child (from 3–12 years old, with a bonus chapter for the teen years) in the Montessori way. Educators Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike provide an in-depth, practical guide to incorporating Montessori principles into readers’ everyday lives, with advice on everything from setting up your home in ways that encourage curiosity and independence to supporting your child’s social and moral development with a balance of limit-setting and age-appropriate freedoms. The book includes dozens of hands-on activities to help foster your child's love of numbers and literacy, art and science, and ones that encourage community-building, social awareness, and connection with the natural world. The Montessori Child offers a powerful alternative for parents who feel that family life has gotten too complicated by showing parents how to make more intentional choices for your family, how to better understand the needs of your children, and support them as they develop their unique potential.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We have to stop overparenting our babies. We have to recognize that they are already learning everything in the early months, and that they are strong and capable. We must provide them with simple, beautiful spaces instead of rushing them to learn everything we think they should. #2 The Montessori approach can be applied from birth to raise secure babies who are ready to explore the world around them with confidence and respect for themselves, others, and the Earth. #3 Babies remind us of how innocent we are when we come into this world. They give us hope for the future, and we love observing a baby take in the world around them. #4 Babies are absorbing everything around them. They are also building trust in their environment, their caregivers, and themselves.
