The Montessori Toddler

As we now are raising a toddler(!) and I enjoyed this fast and sensitive grounding in Montessori practices. My partner has already started to adopt some of the principles at home, and this book felt like a good overview to catch up, with references to more and deeper thinking where needed to address an individuals needs. I think the key takeaways for me personally are centered on respecting a toddler as already striving for independence, finding ways to enable problem solving even while so young (rather then jumping in to solve the problem), organizing more practical self-serve access around the house, and to establish more structure in our household ground rules and consistency. I would recommend this book to folks who want an intro to Montessori, and it made me interested enough to dive in to Montessori's published books directly to go deeper with the philosophy.
