Montessori is a form of education that is more child lead than teacher lead. The book gives examples of how to encourage Montessori education in your home through what toys you bring in, making everything child height, routines, "discipline," and more. The goal is to create a better relationship with your toddler and add more calm during a not so calm time in your life.
I really enjoyed this book! I have already started implementing some of the suggestions such as letting your toddler help more with daily chores. My 19 month old now helps pull her laundry out of the dryer, helps dust some furniture, and waters our big plant. I never thought to have her help with chores this young but it really does seem to make her happy that she is being apart of the family and helping.
