In this episode, I am chatting with Simone Davies, author of “The Montessori Toddler” and co-author of “The Montessori Baby” which are comprehensive guides to raising toddlers and infants in a Montessori way.

I loved having these books on my nightstand over the last few years they have been excellent resources for our family. In today's conversation, we share the most amazing concepts with you on how to implement Montessori methods at home. We get into everything from how to set up your home before the baby arrives, the benefits of going slow and having less stuff, setting limits for your toddler, and using praise in a healthy way. You will learn so many simple and practical ways to start using Montessori principles with your family today.

Highlights from this episode:

  • How Simone got involved in the Montessori lifestyle 20 years
  • What is Montessori?
  • Introduce the Montessori philosophy during pregnancy and newborn stage
  • Provide a simple environment for babies
  • Incorporate daily life into your baby's activities
  • Teach consent from a young age
  • The idea of floor beds for babies and toddlers
  • How to properly baby-proof the bedroom
  • Set up a predictable daily routine

  • Be the calm mediator your child needs
  • How to bring the Montessori approach & activities into your home
  • Allow your toddler time to process information
  • Offer intrinsic motivation instead of external praise
  • Have compassion for yourself
