Episode 46 - Montessori is a way of life

<p>✨Montessori is a way of life - not just pretty shelves!😍<br> <br> Montessori is a way of life, not just an educational method. You can be a Montessori Parent from the respect, nurturing and guidance you offer to your child; without having any Montessori materials and with having an untidy home.<br> <br> Thank you for joining me! In this Live we tried to unpick a few of the misconceptions about Montessori education and Montessori in the home. We discussed starting with the premise of respect as our foundation for our family.<br> <br> I spoke about starting with the preparation of our physical space being our starting point because once we have a home that is simple, ordered and accessible then our child will show us what their needs are and where their interests lie. A prepared environment allows us to 'follow the child', which will tell us everything we need to know.<br> <br> Another point we covered was how Montessori Parenting and Conscious Parenting are interwoven; parenting calls us to become aware of our own fears and/or prejudices, and invites us to not pass these down to the next generation. It is challenging work and part of the preparation of an adult in a Montessori environment, and thus our role as parents/caregivers.<br> <br> ✨💕🙏<br> Visit<a href="https://%20enrichingenvironments.com/shop" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> </a><a href="//enrichingenvironments.com/shop">enrichingenvironments.com/shop</a> for my transformative online Parent Enrichment Courses and Workshops. &nbsp;I’ll see you there!</p> <p>*All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, see my IGTV @enrichingenvironments or YouTube Enriching Environments for the video.</p> <p><a href="https://anchor.fm/#consciousparenting" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consciousparenting</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/respectfulparenting/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#respectfulparenting</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mindfulparenting/" rel="ugc noo
