Montessori In our Home Part 1

This video is for anyone interested in Montessori Method wanting to apply one or all of her brilliant methods to how they interact with their child. I hope to inspire, encourage, and provide ideas.

I first watched your video about a year ago when I was pregnant and I found it SO helpful! It was the only thing I could find online that showed ideas for how to best set up my house - Montessori wise. I too have read the books you've read and I've set my house up with the low shelving, floor bed, little table and chair etc. My daughter is now 8 months. I was thinking about doing a similar video to yours given there is so little information online like this. You've inspired me. Thank you!

One caveat about the book recommended in the video, it isn't true to Montessori for one-year olds and under.

But the older stuff is great and this is a good introduction to how to apply it.

@MomOfLV agreed. i've not been able to find the infant recommendations made in the book, directly from maria montessori herself. while some of them follow in suite with her ideas quite nicely, some of them don't. all the more encouraging us to follow our child before anything, which is exactly where the heart of her method lies in my opinion.

Your home is so clean and beautiful! I wish we could be so organized! I've been hoping to use more Montessouri methods with my 3 and my 1 year old, but being a young mom it's hard to get the confidence to trust my instincts and do what comes naturally. Thanks for the ideas!

you are welcome.

good luck with following your mama gut.

and don't be mislead by my clean house,

I cleaned it for the video.

I tried not to, but my mother always taught me not to invite people into a dirty house....
