Practical parenting program of the Montessori way to build a calm and happy home life with your child


The Montessori method is gaining popularity, and for good reason – it is eminently child-centered and focused on laudable values such as curiosity, independence and respect.

Research shows that Montessori-schooled children are calm, confident, and intelligent, and grow up to become responsible, community-minded, emotionally intelligent adults. The world needs more such people!

This book makes Montessori accessible to everyone. It breaks down the key principles of the approach succinctly and makes applying them immediate and practical for working parents and carers. It provides quick, simple and accessible ways to ensure that your child’s environment is a stimulating one. It also explores the family values that Montessori instils, and how the way in which you parent and your approach to relationships can encapsulate these. The book shows you precisely what you can do and say in the moment at the times of day you connect with your child. It also shows you that it is never too late to introduce Montessori methods to your child. You can apply the principles at any age and enjoy life-changing results.

This is the only Montessori book to recognize that most parents or carers do not have the time and resources to overhaul their lives to fully embrace a parenting philosophy, but instead need practical, immediate guidance that is effective in the moment. Everyone can create magical Montessori moments every day – this book shows you how.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
