“No!” my five-year-old declared, “Cleaning up toys is boring.” He’s usually pretty helpful cleaning up his room and enjoys helping around the house, but sometimes he gets in a mood. When that happens, it can be tempting to turn his defiance into a power struggle. Should I force him into cleaning his room, using my … Continue reading "How to Respond to Defiant Behavior the Montessori Way"

Our children want to show us everything they can do, from doing a crazy jump off the curb to tracing their letters, getting an “A” at school, completing a beautiful drawing and more. They want to be seen. And we want them to feel great! Unfortunately, too often, we get stuck in a rut of … Continue reading "If I Shouldn’t Say “Good Job”, What Should I Say?"

I love the early language development area of my classroom! There is a lot of foundational work that comes before children are introduced to letters. Today’s post is about the kinds of activities we have on our pre-literacy or early language Montessori shelves. The Language Area This is a photo of the Language area […]
This home is designed for a big family who believes in spending time together in common areas rather than everyone hanging out in their bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms might be a little small, but there is ample space for study or craft areas and a huge great room where the whole family can find space to spread out. In some ways, this is an old-fashioned plan. However, the separate kitchen is making a comeback.
While many well-meaning parents say "good job", there's a better way to praise. Descriptive praise is a Montessori friendly way to encourage our kids.

I've already professed my love for Greece before, but after seeing this stunning house of interior designer, Marilyn Katsaris, I am ready to move to the island of Tinos in a heartbeat.

I'm personally fascinated with the convergence, the differences, and the union between Montessori & Waldorf Steiner education & philosophies. It's a rather controversial topic and I acknowledge the myriad of perspectives and I appreciate the pure form of both on many levels. But, for me, the very fact that I have been so strongly drawn to and inspired by both means that there has to be something there. Which for me is the seed, the intent of both. I have a lot more I could say (and have said) on this topic but that's for another post! For now I just wanted to share an article I stumbled across which was published late last year here on New Learning Culture which looks at the "Yin & Yang of Montessori and Waldorf in Early Childhood Education" (click on the pages to enlarge): How do you incorporate elements of Montessori & /or Waldorf Steiner into your home or classroom? Or do you follow a purist approach to either? What do you find difficult and what seems like a natural connection? Please leave your thoughts below in the comments box :) I'd love to further this discussion.
