A Montessori teacher's Montessori book recommendations: These five books explain everything a toddler parent needs to know about Montessori philosophy, practicing Montessori at home, Montessori toddler parenting, how to prepare your toddler for the Montessori primary classroom (preschool/kindergarten), and even the Montessori toileting process (potty training)! Reading (or listening!) to these books provides inspiration, motivation, and practical information to incorporate the Montessori method into your lifestyle, whether your child attends Montessori school or not. The information in these books will help you guide your child with confidence, leading to your child feeling more secure, confident, and being more independent. The books by Silvana Montanaro and Maria Montessori provide a deep look into what is today called the Montessori method. Learn from the original source what is meant by concepts such as "follow the child" and "trust the child". Understand through scientifically based and spiritually inspired observations the key developmental milestones these two doctors explain and how adult behavior and the physical environment affect this development. In The Montessori Toddler, by Simone Davies, you'll find detailed examples, illustrations, and practical tips to implement Montessori at home with your toddler. Diaper-3 before free by Jill Lekovic, M.D. pulls on her experience as a physician, and a mother to children who learned to toilet independently using the Montessori method, to teach parents how to implement this method with their own child. For those of you sending, or considering sending your child to a Montessori primary (preschool/kindergarten) classroom, Maren Schmidt's book Understanding Montessori explains what a typical day of school will look like and what to expect from your child's teacher and school.
