Montessori voor Thuis

Montessori voor thuis (The Montessori Toddler) is the guide for parents of children aged 1 to 4 who are looking for a mindful way of parenting. That way the toddler years aren't the 'terrible twos', but a harmonious and educational time for parent and child.

Children are naturally curious and eager to learn. According to Maria Montessori, it's important that they can develop in their own way and at their own pace. Her method has been taught in schools around the world for more than a hundred years.

Based on Maria Montessori's ideas, Simone Davies wrote an inspiring parenting book full of tips and advice: what toddlers enjoy and need, how to set limits without punishment or time-outs, how to set up your home to be tidy and child-friendly with inviting materials, and how to involve toddlers in the household.

Simone Davies founded Jacaranda Tree Montessori, a playgroup for young children and their parents in Amsterdam. On her widely read blog, The Montessori Notebook, she shares advice on Montessori in practice. Hiyoko Imai, born in Tokyo and living in Amsterdam, is a paper artist; she designed and illustrated the book.

This book is in Dutch.
