“I am new to Montessori and am excited to bring all activities into our home! There are so many amazing Montessori activities out there but how do I know where to start with Montessori? How do I know my next steps?”
This reader is not alone. I can certainly relate and, if you’re reading this post, well, you obviously can relate, too.
One of the main reasons my Montessori e-course for parents and homeschoolers exists is to mitigate this challenge. My goal is to get you comfortable and confident in your abilities to bring Montessori into your home environments. It is so easy to be intimidated by the vast amounts of information flying at us.
Don’t worry, though, I’ve got your back. You have to remember that the journey is just that – a journey – it is a lifestyle and changes to a lifestyle don’t happen overnight. So, go easy on yourself. Take a step back and absorb all there is to learn about Montessori.
