Description
Written to guide parents on how to apply the Montessori principles at home, the authors provide vision and practical suggestions for teaching children ages 3-12. They begin with an introduction regarding the development of children and then introduce the key Montessori principles for the 3–12-year-old child. The rest of the book outlines ways to prepare your home to maximize learning, activities, supporting your children’s social and moral development which includes handling sensitive topics, parental support, and transitioning to adolescence. Please note, the authors promote gender-inclusive language and ideas, gender binary, and self-touching exploration (in private). While parents will likely not agree with everything the authors promote, there is still a lot of helpful guidance for having open conversations with our children to share from our own experiences and beliefs. ~Deanne

your child’s social and moral development with a balance of
