Montessori at Home Guide: Gentle Parenting Techniques to Help Your 2 to 6-Year-Old Learn Social Skills and Discipline
“Discipline is, therefore, primarily a learning experience†- Dr. Maria Montessori
In this final edition of the ‘Montessori at Home Guide’ series, Rachel Peachey addresses practical life skills that seem often forgotten; social skills and discipline. Learn how to gently guide your 2 to 6-year-old to develop basic social skills including ‘Introducing themselves’ and ‘How to Interrupt Politely’ to more complex skills like ‘Recognizing emotions in others’. This book also discusses gentle parenting approaches to discipline, how to handle conflict, and many more parenting techniques inspired by Maria Montessori. Rachel’s informative, yet simple, approach to these subjects, is easy to understand and ready for the busy parent who may not have time to dive deeper into the Montessori philosophy. Though a short guide, it’s packed with insight, leading to many “Aha!†moments that will be priceless for the early education of your little one.
Included with this book are 2 bonus chapters. ‘How to Address Difficult Subjects’ discusses a gentle parenting approach to topics such as death, sex, and strangers. ‘How to Introduce Montessori When You Didn’t Begin at Birth’ helps you, the parent or caregiver, begin implementing Montessori education at a later age when your children may be transitioning from a different method of education.
“We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.†-Dr. Maria Montessori
