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 close to nature and according to the minimalist principles of Montessori. 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 chosen materials, the child will find their own pace and rhythm. Together, they navigate tantrums and stressful situations while fostering attachment and sustainability within the family. The book helps to connect this aspiration with the lives of working parents.
