10 - What is Montessori and how do we start?

Trusting Children Podcast

Montessori has become very popular amongst parents in the last few years. But what is it that has attracted so many of us to this philosophy? What are some of the most important, fundamental principles of this approach and how can they relate to parenting? What are some of the most common misunderstandings and myths about the method? What can we as parents do to implement some aspects of this philosophy into our homes? In today’s episode I am speaking to Carine Robin, who is going to answer these questions for us.
If you want to find out more about the Montessori approach or are thinking of implementing some aspects of it in your home, this episode is for you. Carine tells us which of the core principles we should focus on as parents. She calms our worries and fears by de-bunking some myths about Montessori and reassures us that we don't need to worry about any of the resources or 'shelfies.' You can totally be a Montessori parent or a Montessori family without buying loads of materials. It's all about your attitude, your approach and your respect towards your child.
