Easy, informative and a smooth read. This book can not only help you how to do the Montessori lifestyle, but can help you have a kick start in homeschooling or help you gain confidence in becoming a new parent!
If you’re learning about Montessori, a homeschooling parent to a young child, or just become or are a parent, this book is for you! I wish I grabbed this when I first became a parent, or when I decided to homeschool my kiddos. This book is full of wonderful, creative and easy activities that help development in your child.

An interesting book with specific examples and practical tips for parents who want to encourage independence and to understand Maria Montessori’s method. The beginning explains the principles of the method and how they came about, and the end is a rich library of specific ideas and general explanations of activities in the Montessori way. To be honest, not all the theory is persuasive to me, but many activity ideas inspired me and encouraged me to give my own child more independence at home.

This book is a great easy to digest guide to The Montessori Method for the average parent. Not many sources truly guide you to understanding the method at its core or explain the materials thoroughly enough but this book truly shows you how to convert the method to use at home instead of at a classroom in the most cost effective way possible while still functioning as the Montessori Method is meant to function.

A great practical guide to help you with adding Montessori activities to your day to day.

The dropped star comes from me being trolled by the addition snake game picture discrepancies with the math described in the text and '8-2=7' in the subtraction section.

Other than that it was very helpful, I've already started using some of the activities and have had good engagement from my Squishies.
