Montessori Mother Podcast Montessori Mother Berlin

Men's restrooms need changing tables! In this podcast Chad Chittenden - Montessori father and teacher, leader of Berlin's Fathers Meet-Up, and my husband - joins me to explain some ups and downs of being a modern father. Chad and the other dads in our school are changing the narrative around what being a father looks like and details his experience of entering the world of parenthood and early childhood education.

How can we set kind and clear limits with toddlers?

Do we use discipline or praise in Montessori?

How can I help my child through their struggles?

How do we support correct behaviour and deter deviant behaviour?

We talked all about these questions and more in a 1.5 hour webinar back in 2020! Now I am sharing the Zoom recording with you! It includes a lecture & questions and discussion in the end.

Hello there! Today we are discussing the Montessori-inspired approach to co-working at home. This is for anyone who is interested in how to balance their own productivity and passions at home while being a present, Montessori-minded parent.

With so many of us working from home and homeschooling, I hoped to bring some encouragement, inspiration, and positivity through this podcast. I hope you find it compelling and helpful!

The topic of this podcast is -how to sleep and be happy-
Child psychologist and sleep specialist, Chloe Huth, speaks with me about how to handle the most common challenges in sleep so the whole family can find balance and rest. Her approach is very respectful and individual for each child, much like in Montessori + I also chip in with Montessori tips. I think that this is the best podcast we have made so far so I hope you enjoy it!
You can schedule a private consultation via Skype or at her Berlin-based practice here: www.parentsofberlin.com

This podcast is about getting back to the start with the Montessori approach from birth to 6 months old. Topics include the materials we use, the way we prepare the environment, and the role the adult plays in the Montessori environment for babies.

Our discussion this week is the Montessori approach to an important, and sometimes a seemingly impossible topic: how to stop toddlers from hitting/pushing/or biting. Your toddler might be going through this phase currently and this podcast will help give you the tools to deal with it the next time the situation arises, and eventually prevent it from happening.
This podcast will answer the following three questions:

Why should we get involved?
Why do toddlers hit, push, or bite?
And how should I respond when this happens?
