Happy to be back with another Q&A; episode. So many valuable questions, it was hard to choose! I've selected the most commonly asked questions as well as a few less often asked but useful to answer as I haven't seen them often discussed elsewhere. In this episode I answer your questions about:when you learn about Montessori, make some changes, and things seem to be getting worse rather than betterhow much to let our children play independently and how much to do together like cooking, playing football together etchow much to show our child how to play with an activity vs letting them explore for themselvesa child who has never put away toys and when asked says, "you do it"training to become a Montessori teacherwhether picture to picture matching is a Montessori activity or notideas for integrating Montessori into the early infant daysdealing with a toddler who is avoiding bedtime and using every excuse and getting up constantlynot interfering with the child and observing them, but feeling like they could be doing something more interesting or meaningful themselvesdealing with family who buy lots of battery-powered toys without being ungratefulwhat to do when friends have battery-powered toys and merchandised toys that you don't allow them at homehow to arrange a sleeping area for a newborn and 3 year oldwhat I recommend as a crash course for beginnersapplying Montessori with children with special needs, ie, physical and learning difficultieswhat type of children Montessori is best forhow to talk to a family member who cares for your infant but is not in agreement with the Montessori approachtalking with a young child about upcoming medical procedures, scars etcfinding space for Montessori with a 4 year old and 6 month old in a small spacewhat to do when your 18-month old keeps getting to the sink to play with waterdealing with a child screaming with frustrationSo many fun questions, right?
