Episode 18:Making Sense of Montessori with Jeanne Marie Paynel

Have you heard the buzz about "Montessori" but aren't really sure what that means? Is it a parenting style? A type of school? Sunit interviews the founder and CEO of "Voila Montessori" and they discuss how to prepare your home and adapt your child's environment for optimal success and growing great humans.   Montessori is an educational method that is based in the understanding that we all have an innate need to learn, and that children are capable of knowing what they need to learn and learning it.   The Montessori method allows children to learn on their own. Jeanne Marie thinks Montessori starts with conception…the womb, birth environment, and growing environment are all contributing to a child's development.   Join Sunit and Jeanne Marie as they discuss:   -preparing and adapting your home for a new child and the four areas of your home you should focus on -the importance of trusting that your child has their own timeline, and not comparing them to other children's timelines -how parents can be guides to their kids and not servants -how to lessen your feelings of "so much to do" by encouraging and involving kids at every stage -unschooling vs Montessori -Montessori "approved" toys through all stages of early life -what advantages the Montessori method provides for children   Learn more about Montessori, get resources and find out more about what Jeanne Marie does at:   www.voilamontessori.com   Join the private fb community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/modernmommyprepschool/
