Ep 14: All Things Montessori with Millie from @consciously.montessori
Welcome to episode 14 of Next of Kin Parents Podcast! I'm Emma, a British Expat, and Mum of 1, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.
I feel very lucky to have been able to rack Millie from @consciously.montessori brain on all things Montessori for this episode. Millie has a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education, a master's in Psychology, and years of experience as a Montessori educator, but importantly, she's also a Mum to 1-year-old Rupert so she can speak to us honestly about how she implements a Montessori approach at home for her son. I personally picked up a lot of tips that I want to add to my own parenting toolkit.
Some things that we discuss include:
- What is the Montessori approach?
- What is the difference between Montessori schools and traditional schooling?
- What age range does Montessori apply to?
- How to approach boundaries, difficult behaviour, and big emotions
- I admit to 'un-montessori-ing' our floorbed
... and much more!
