Praise & Punishment
from Montessori Moms in the Wild · host Montessori Moms in the Wild
In this episode we aim to demystify the idea that there is no praise or punishment within the Montessori philosophy. What does it mean to trade punitive punishments for natural consequences? Why shouldn't you say, "Good job!" and what can you stay instead? We do our best to explain the logic here, and provide alternative language/approaches to these topics in your home.
