Description
Montessori Method Parenting Book | |THE BASICS | Bringing Montessori Home Birth to Age Six to help you understand and embrace the Montessori method, making it a part of your home and family. You can start Montessori NOW, no matter how small your space is or how limited the resources are.
Inside THE BASICS | Montessori Method Parenting Book, I am sharing with you my passion for education and what I have learned during our incredible homeschooling journey so that parents and educators can take advantage of the golden period of a child’s Absorbent Mind. Before embracing the Montessori method, I had no idea about the significance of the first six years of life for early development. And why would I know when compulsory education does not begin till the age of seven when most of the sensitive windows had closed already? In fact, from birth through approximately the age of six, children build a solid foundational blueprint for later academic mastery, cognitive strength, and effective social skills. Dr. Montessori called this period “The Absorbent Mind,” when young children have extraordinary abilities and experience a period of intense mental activity that allows them to absorb information from their environment quickly and without conscious effort. Little people are indeed like sponges!
What’s in this Montessori Method Parenting Book:
Dr. Maria Montessori outlined these very specific windows of opportunity, which are magical pivotal periods when children are biologically ready and receptive to acquiring a particular skill or ability – be it language, math, reading, etc. During such periods of exceptional sensitivity to specific stimuli, a child tends to produce spontaneous bouts of concentration and repetition, and they soak up specific concepts, knowledge, and information effortlessly, spontaneously, and with remarkable ease! However, these periods are fleeting, and most of them close by the time they are ready for ‘traditional schooling.’ And once the “window” is closed, it is closed forever, and the same knowledge or skill must be learned the hard way – through mundane repetition and memorization.

Why Homeschool Montessori?
So, in my ebook, I outline these windows ~ SENSITIVE PERIODS ~ from birth till age six, as well as PLANES of DEVELOPMENT from birth till adulthood. You will also find a chapter on MONTESSORI BABY, with gross and fine motor development charts, language developmental milestones, Montessori mobile charts, and the significance of myelination. Moreover, I will be sharing WHY MONTESSORI and the beautiful goals of the Montessori Primary Program, which are achievable at home if you have been made aware of them! Furthermore, a chapter on MONTESSORI AT HOME will help you start Montessori now, despite some of the limitations. Next, a chapter on WHAT MAKES MONTESSORI describes the five core components that are essential to the quality of Montessori implementation.
Notably, I am sharing our primary CURRICULUM outline reference guide, the order of lessons, and the age when they should be introduced, in my opinion. The curriculum outlines for each of the five areas of Montessori education in chapters 8 through 12 are PRACTICAL LIFE, SENSORIAL, LANGUAGE, MATHEMATICS, and CULTURAL & SCIENCE. Lastly, I will be sharing with you some insights about the POWER OF PLAY.

Why do you need this Montessori Method Parenting Book?
This current ebook, the “BASICs,” offers a lot of information for you to start. However, it is impossible to cover everything very extensively. To sum up, I am offering you pivotal information, presented in an organized manner with graphs and charts, about what I have learned during the six years of research while devouring numerous books and resources, taking notes, organizing the key points, and creating outlines.
Most importantly, by bringing up my two children the Montessori way, I am sharing what has worked for us through our hands-on experience of learning by doing. Also, I am sharing which aspects of Montessori philosophy are the most useful so that parents and educators can bring Montessori home and not miss any magical critical windows of developmental sensitivity when children learn like sponges! I hope you will follow along and welcome from the heart this beautiful and wholesome method that centers on the CHILD “[a] human being to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.” (Maria Montessori, MD.) And, deep in my heart, I hope to ignite the love of learning and make the educational process desirable and less daunting!
