Getting to know Montessori
As the focus is on development of children as a whole, it makes sense that families have taken the Montessori philosophy out of the classroom and adopted it at home by becoming a Montessori parent. And for many, it goes beyond parenting — Montessori becomes a lifestyle.

What is Montessori at Home?
Montessori at home is all about respecting the potential children to develop their own instinct and tendencies and act on them while at home. This eventually helps them become confident in themselves, while also helping them understand the way cause and effect works.
Montessori parenting is built on respect for the child and giving the the time and space they need to do things on their own.

Step 1 — Respect Your Child
How can you do that?
Respecting your child also means apologizing to them when you’re wrong, or when you have been unable to stay true to your word. Not only does it demonstrate respect, but it models the behavior you want to see.
With Montessori parenting, children are giving the opportunity to explore the world around them.
Step 2 — Offer Ample Space and Loosen the Boundaries
While playing alone, you’ll, of course, need to keep an eye on them since most kids don’t respect boundaries at all times, and if neglected can go in the wrong direction either physically or emotionally, and in some cases both!
