Calm the chaos and transform your home into a space that fosters curiosity, creativity, and independence. Too often, the toys, games, and other materials meant to educate young children end up being a detriment instead. If you're overwhelmed and your kids are overstimulated, it's time to reset your space by applying the principles of the Montessori method at home so you can be a calmer, more attentive parent. Author and certified Montessori guide Ashley Yeh tackles each room of the home and explains how to provide young children with the accessibility they need to complete practical life skills on their own, tapping into their innate desire to do it myself. Whether your child is an infant, toddler, or preschooler, there are simple and inexpensive changes you can make to foster independence and reduce the stress around mealtimes, bedtime, and leaving the house. Includes: - Introduction to the Montessori method, which emphasises whole-child development and learning through experience; - How to apply Montessori principles throughout the home so that children are able to complete practical, everyday tasks on their own; - Over 75 simple activities for ages 0-5; - Essential Montessori resources and materials with DIY options.
