Montessori Tips for Parents

To get started with Montessori parenting, the first thing to remember is to set realistic expectations. You don’t need to be the perfect Montessori parent. Give yourself and your child grace as you progress and learn together. 

  • How do we bring our children up to survive – and thrive – in today’s chaotic world? Clearly, everyone agrees that education is a key component, but what shape should education take to bring about what we all desire for our children?

    We want them to be successful and happy. But how can a proper education help to achieve this goal? And what should be the end result of a proper education?


  • A strong educational foundation is important for many reasons because it promotes lifelong learning, academic achievement, personal development, empowerment, economic opportunities, critical thinking, personal fulfillment, and societal progress. The foundations of a subject provide the fundamental concepts, principles, and theories on which further learning is built. By understanding these foundations, children develop a solid knowledge base that serves as a framework for acquiring more advanced knowledge and skills.


  • When thinking about fantasy and imagination sometimes people tend to think that they are the same, that in fact, the two words refer to the same process. The truth is that the two have very different meanings. When we talk about fantasy we talk about something created by the mind, so, it is a product of the imagination but it is not connected with reality, it is something that we have never seen before, something that cannot exist. On the other hand, imagination is based on reality. A clear example would be trying to draw a picture of something which is not in front of you. As long as you know what it is, such as for example an apple, you can easily visualize it, or imagine it and draw it.
