Introduction

O ne of the best and useful occurrences in the education world was the birth of the Montessori Method to classrooms. Its advent was a long-awaited response to the need for a functional and focused education method. If you understand the importance of raising children the right way and grooming them with the right method, you will appreciate the effectiveness of Montessori above all other methods used in school.

Many types of education have failed to put certain problems in education into consideration. The traditional method of education does not view children in the right light. Even though not all things are wrong in conventional education, children are not fully prepared to face life with confidence. The content of education and activities are determined by the teacher, and learners have no say in what they learn, but to follow whatever adults say or do.

The truth is that learners should have the freedom to decide what they want to learn and when they want to learn. For twenty-first-century children to learn and gain more from school, the environment should be stimulating enough to provide the right atmosphere. So far, only the Montessori Method has most of the characteristics to build and develop a twenty-first-century responsible and brainy child.

The aim of the Montessori Method is the development of a new brand of children who are both responsible and intelligent. Children are educated and shown practical skills that will make them survive and live in the modern world. They are encouraged to think independently and coached to respect others. These skills are essential for teamwork in the modern world and the realities of the present time require more of these virtues in employees and sports teams.

The best way to equip children and prepare them to face the challenge of a modern world is giving them the right knowledge and skills. Old methods are ineffective in a complex and changing environment. The ability to adapt to understand how society works will help children cope and adjust in order to remain relevant in their world and career path.

This book looks into the Montessori Method with the aim of making you see why your children at home or school need to be educated the right way and given the freedom to think independently and explore their environment. When a child is given the right education in the right environment and for the right reasons, growth and development take place. The Montessori Method is the way to go for the modern child in a modern world.

The development of children includes physical improvement, intellectual development, language improvement, emotional development, and social improvement. All of the developments are very important, so it is essential for the parents to take into consideration all of the bodily, psychological and emotional necessities. Parents should monitor the ways of a childs development to guarantee that they are growing in a correct way.

Environment performs a crucial position in shaping and modifying the toddlers development. It's more essential that the infant must be developed in the pleasant learning environment. There are several agents such as parents, caregivers, and other children who create a healthy learning environment for a child in the early ages. The learning preparatory environment involves all the specific places and situations in which a child learns and grows. The preparatory environment is considered the third teacher after the mother and father and educators because of its results in early age learning.

This book additionally gives many inspirational and motivational activities to enhance the creative skills of a child. Early childhood mastering activities should be beneficial, informative and meaningful enough to increase the motivational level of a toddler, so he or she may be discovered in an extra subtle and interesting manner.

Great effort has been made to fill the pages with the adequate knowledge you need in the parenting of your toddlers, and to make it accessible in language and organization. This text is the product of quality research and the sum of intellectual conclusions from scholars and professionals that major in the psychology of parenting toddlers. After credible research, it has been found that the Montessori Method of parenting a toddler is the best of all. Its results are consistently positive. It enables the deepest connection between parents and their toddlers, on the one hand, and a virtuous growth of the children on the other hand. This study guide was created to help parents become duly equipped in the training of their toddlers. It is purely and exclusively educational.

Chapter 1: Introduction to Montessori

M ontessori always believed that the students and children are capable of everything. She says in her book, Do not compel the child to do things but assure him that you are always with him no matter what happens. You are the one that should be witnessing him and allowing him to grow. If any one of you place any restriction and compulsion on him then definitely there will be issues for you. These statements create a sound of confidence for the toddlers and the parents who want to see their child grow and grow. The idea is that if restrictions and obstructions are placed on the child and the child is dragged to a limit that he/she cannot bear, then he/she will always be a barrier to the decisions of his parent. There will be a dominating conflict of interest that will be very dangerous for the childs growth. Montessori never educated the parents to distill a constant, hypnotic version that advocates hypocrisy or juvenile injustice for the child. She firmly asserts that the principles of Montessori are so effective and everlasting in their designs that the child is able to harness his/her true potential at all possible limits and exertions. The most systematic requirement for the manifestation of Montessori principles is that one has to learn the portals of adaptability and compatibility. Montessori teaching and philosophical assertions want the child to learn the disciplines of life in a coherent and composed manner.

Montessori Made is an educational and in depth book for teachers and parents alike to assist their children through self-development. Although primarily intended for teachers in a Montessori school environment, the exercises and activities in these chapters can be applied by yourself as a parent or guardian at home.

The main principle with this approach to learning is that your children are given a choice and freedom to decide their own learning activities. There are basic rules and guidelines; however, fundamentally the founder of the Montessori Method learned - through her observations - that giving a child a choice enables a greater willingness to learn, in addition to enhancing performance, development, and ability.
