Description
The Montessori method has long been a popular learning method, particularly for preschools. Cultivating the whole child, this approach utilizes their intrinsic curiosity, developing a dynamic relationship between the child, adult, and the learning environment. Sounds like many a home school to me! This resource provides the knowledge you'll need to implement the method with your own preschooler. The undergirding philosophy is explained simply and sufficiently. You'll find strategies categorized and explained in a user-friendly way and a wealth of practical application via concrete lists and nugget-sized explanations. Concepts such as creating a rich, safe learning environment; nurturing and communicating; setting limits and consequences, and handling emotional challenges such as shyness, conflict, and even divorce. For a Montessori approach raising children, this one's a must have! Includes a bibliography of additional readings, resource and activity lists, information on Montessori schools, play-dough recipe, and two charts (one assists parents in retraining their conversations with children; the other helps identify feelings). Includes an attached dust jacket. 248 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
