Simone Davies' comprehensive Montessori book supports families in integrating calm, beauty, and mindfulness into their daily lives. From infancy, parents create an environment for children where they can grow up freely yet securely. Independence develops from the child's intrinsic motivation when they can grow up in a nature-oriented and minimalist Montessori environment. Through numerous examples, photos, and illustrations, the author demonstrates ways to playfully involve children in the family's daily life. Without constant entertainment and surrounded by carefully selected materials, the child will find their own pace and rhythm. Together, they navigate challenging and stressful situations while fostering attachment and sustainability within the family. The book helps to connect these ideals with the lives of working parents.
