The Montessori Notebook podcast :: a Montessori parenting podcast with Simone Davies
Kids & Family:Parenting
A deep conversation with Eloise from @mightymother_ in the UK all about creating a beautiful childhood and how they incorporate Montessori into their eclectic homeschooling days. And even if you aren't homeschooling, you'll learn:
* alternatives to praise
* building a family rhythm rather than a schedule
* creating cosy spaces at different ages
* what morning time looks like in their home - from tea to poetry to Latin and French - you are going to want to hear why a 4.5 year old is into these!
* the joy in the bad days
* getting out into nature in the city
* giving ourselves permission to rest and look after ourselves
* a realistic perspective on anxiety
* and how there is no such thing as a perfect parent
And don't forget to listen right to the end when Simone answer's this week's listener question from India:
My first born child is now turning 2 years old and I have only recently discovered the montessori method which I feel is so perfect for our family. I am in the process of purging a lot of “stuff” in our home that does not have a purpose, and make our home more “montessori friendly”. In many ways though, I feel like we are starting too late and I have failed my son as a parent. But at the same time I feel inspired to make some positive changes. Any suggestions for parents who are just starting to learn about montessori and transitioning from a more “conventional?” ... almost consumerish approach to parenting (always looking for the latest toy or gadget or stimulation).
