As a trained Montessori teacher I applaud your clear and straightforward speech in this video. As always, I look forward every week to your videos, but this kind if video is especially important in its messages. Shout out to your mentioning of interrupting to praise a child, as it is a super common thing adults do and it is truly more destructive than constructive if done at an inopportune moment.

“For busy parents like you and me” yes... I’m definitely a busy parent... definitely not a 26 year old student watching these fantasising about a time in the future when I have my life together enough to have kids... 🙈

I'm only 14 but I'm so fascinated by this! I hope to be as good of a mother as you one day:)

[akmcdade]

As a person who attended a Montessori school, I didn’t realize (until i watched your video), of a lot of the characteristics that Montessori encouraged. Now i really appreciate going to a school that made me so much more confident, helped me appreciate learning, etc. Thanks for informing other parents to hopefully take an opportunity to raise their children in a Montessori environment.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I'm starting to discover all around Montessori education. Don't know how to start! Your videos are very useful!! Thank you very much!

[CarolineForest]

I want to mention to anyone just scrolling though the comments... and might NOT like the idea of going full out. Nobody will blame if you if you only take the things you like/are comfortable with. Nobody sais you have to go full out

[maywewonder]

The mutual respect for the child and for the parent. Talking to them as if they are adults. I wasn't raised like that, still to this day my mom says 'I AM THE PARENT, you are the child.... stop pretending you know better' and I am 26

The more I watch the more I want to go work for a Montessori school and raise my own future children this way. I keep realizing I was using some of these techniques in the classroom, without knowing there was a whole system and I am all for it. Thank you for the video!

[slynnel]

In my public speaking class last semester, I gave my persuasive speech on this exact topic! Watching your videos has gotten me so interested in Montessori, I’m definitely going to use this philosophy with my future children!

[Mrs.Gmamma]

this is mind blowing to me. my mom had this mentally raising me, she went easier on my brother meaning she did more things for him. I now have a 2 year old son that i have been teaching him creativity and independence since he was 8months and he could crawl. I did not know there was a name for that, and that there was so much more to it.

For some reason, books on this were recommended to me on Amazon, so being a single dad I decided to take a look and read the reviews (as I do with everything I am interested in purchasing) and became very intrigued and just bought 2 books. My recently turned 2 year old seems like he would definitely thrive in an environment like this and I'm ready to make this happen for him. You now have a new subscriber!

I have a 6 month old and I have been searching for a *concise* and informative series so I can learn (personally, I am a super hands-on, visual learner and Its really hard for me to read book after book and digest all information well) so having this series is a HUGE help for me. I am so grateful! I would gladly purchase a more detailed series on these methods if you ever decided to make one!

I'm a 1979 baby and Montessori preschool was/is a big thing in my small city. There are three or four of them here now. My parents (both working full time) had me in the all day program. I still remember learning Spanish and cooking.

[adikendall]

Mental health worker here❣️ I love the simplicity, kids need a calm environment 🧸🖤🌙 I'm going to use this for my kids

[lucienewandermurem]

I have watched many videos on Montessori at home but yours are absolutely the best. They are so straightforward and super informative. Anyone can tell you did a lot of research on the topic and has experience applying the method with your kids. Thank you so much for your channel!

I have 2yr old triplets. I’ve been so overwhelmed. They’ve been getting into everything and it’s honestly so stressful. I’ve been trying to figure out how to “handle” this. And I honestly think Montessori is the answer. I actually feel hopeful and excited about this journey I’m about to go on. I wish I would have known this 17yrs ago.

[agr]

I’m 27 and don’t have kids yet but this is so fascinating and I know for a fact that when I do have children in the near future, this is how I want to raise them. I’m just a little overwhelmed with all the information I’m so worried about screwing up my kid and that I won’t be a good parent. I know these are fears a lot of people have, I hope to be as confident in my parenting as you are one day 💖💖

[autumnhaywood]

I was so overwhelmed that I was borderline in tears.. This video really gave me footing. Thank you so, so much.

[avarmauk]

Dad to be here and this 11 minute video has been eye opening. Thank you for making it so clear and concise.

I'm so intrigued by these methods

[philippapay]

This was terrific. I hope it inspires a lot of people to consider the Montessori Method. We too often have parents who do not understand the importance of not breaking a child's concentration with unnecessary praise or criticism and they never learn their child's "MO."
