The Montessori Child: A Parent's Guide to Raising Capable Children with Creative Minds and Compassionate Hearts

So many great Montessori principles covered in this book! Our littles attend a Montessori school, but we want to make sure our home set up and interactions encourage those principles at home, too. This has everything from the philosophy background to applicable activities and practices to put it place today. It’s also beautifully written and illustrated in a sturdy, yet lightweight book!

The book reassured me in my parenting approach and it also brings me much new inspiration and many ideas for everyday family life. I already liked the previous book The Montessori Toddler and I also really enjoy Simone Davies's podcast Montessori Notebook. I love the way Davies and Uzodike revisit the works of Maria Montessori and make them up to date and accessible for broad audience. With their help it is easy to bring the Montessori principles in life.

This book should be a staple in every school's resource library for families. It stands out for its accessibility, with practical, easy-to-implement suggestions that are especially relevant in today's world. Other reviewers have expressed concern about its mention of inclusive practices but I found that content to be presented in a respectful and developmentally appropriate manner, and an absolute must for anyone interested in raising kind and considerate humans. I particularly liked reading about the lived experiences of parents raising children the Montessori way. This book is an essential primer for families interested in the Montessori approach beyond the toddler years. Highly recommend!

It is a gift to watch Simone grow as a Montessori author. This book is full of crucial knowledge about the Montessori method while also hitting all the important points of the 3-12 age range. And a perfect addition to The Montessori Toddler and The Montessori Baby.It’s an immediate must read and I’ll be recommending it to all the families I work with.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pure excellence as always!!! Great diverse, relevant, NEEDED POV!
