061: Creating a Montessori Home Environment: The Key to Deep Connection & Thriving Kids

In this February episode, we welcome back Jeanne Marie Paynel, a seasoned Montessori mentor and host of 'The Art of Parenting' podcast. We are so excited for Jeanne Marie to share with you insights on how Montessori principles can transform your home into a nurturing environment for your children. You’ll also get a sneak peak into what goes on in a Montessorri classroom and how it supports your child’s natural brain development with no harsh timelines and expectations.

We will learn about the critical first six years of your child's development, the importance of a 'yes' environment, and how to create a space that fosters independence and confidence. I have worked with her for over 15 years and what she has brought to the parents I teach has been remarkable. Whether you're planning for a baby or already parenting, this episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt wisdom. This is the perfect episode to share with a friend who is NOT pregnant yet so they have time to research these principles and see if they are right for them.

Quotes from Dr. Maria Montessori’s writings:

…/… the most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed. But not only his intelligence; the full totality of his psychic powers. This new idea has greatly impressed those with some insight into psychic life, and many have begun to study the newborn and the one year old child, who is the creator of the adult’s personality.

“Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future… Let us treat them with all the kindness which we would wish to help to develop in them.”

“The greatness of the human personality begins at the hour of birth.”
