Montessori Madness , by Trevor Eissler Written by a Montessori parent, this book gives an accessible overview of the fundamentals of the Montessori approach. Highly recommended. It gives detailed advice to parents for babies from 0 to 3 years including setting up the home environment, breastfeeding and weaning, and the role of the father. Montessori from the Start , by Paula Polk Lillard and Lynn Lillard Jessen For those wanting detailed information on all aspects of the Montessori approach for the youngest children, this book is worth a read.

The book discusses the theory and the practice, with many examples given. Her pedagogical approach is explained clearly and with a lot of information, for the passionate learner.

I enjoy reading her books, but they are not light-reading! It made such a difference to how I communicate with my own children and in my work with babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. The core of the book is that you do not need to use rewards and punishment to get your children to behave in an acceptable way.

I love this book so much, I run parent workshops based on this book as well. They bring wisdom to an age-old problem — siblings fighting.

It gives great strategies on how to guide children to solve their own problems. Specialised tips for children under 3 years. Thriving , by Michael Grose This book takes a look at the big picture of parenting — how to instil values into your children, how to live as a family, and how to make your children resilient. I found this to be a really valuable book that puts it all into perspective.

Amanda presents a way to create with children that is accessible and fun. Lots of nice projects and ideas to do with your children. And I really enjoyed the chapter on creating rituals with your family too. Please remember to visit our resources hub for Montessori Curriculum activities and lessons!
