Summary of The Montessori Toddler 

4.8 . 8933 reviews

Short summary

Toddlers are cute, funny, inquisitive, and of course, you love yours dearly. However, they can also be a challenge! When the “terrible twos” hits it seems like all you do is say “no”, “don’t do that”, “put that down”, and tear your hair out. What if it didn’t have to be that way? “The Montessori Toddler” helps you to see your toddler in a different light and view the world through their eyes. By doing this, you can understand why they are behaving the way they are and change your approach to focus on nurturing and learning. This is beneficial for both you and your child. Based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s key principles, author Simone Davies aims to make raising your child easier.

Toddlers have a negative reputation. Yes, they’re adorable but they are also viewed as being difficult and extremely challenging. It’s important to remember that your child isn’t having a tantrum for the sake of it, and they’re not being challenging for the sake of it either; they’re simply exploring and learning in the only way they know how. Remember, at this age, children haven’t learned about controlling impulses and what is right and wrong.
Toddlers often throw tantrums and act in a difficult way. It’s important to remember that they cannot control their emotions at this age.
Shortly after Simone Davies' first child entered into the toddler age group, she heard a program on the radio about using time out discipline methods. In that program, she learned that time outs don't really work because all they do is cause your child to feel even more upset and confused about what they have done wrong. Rather than pushing them away, they need to be supported at these times and learn how to put right their actions. It was this program that pushed Davies into learning more about the famous Montessori school of thought.
Toddlers are children aged between 1 to 3 years of age.
Davies attended a Montessori school and saw everything first hand. This piqued her interest even more. The school taught her that toddlers need freedom, they need to be able to explore in their own way, without strict boundaries that cause them to act out because they can’t do what they want to do. However, toddlers also need to explore within safe boundaries and they need a routine that is predictable.

Davies found that by learning more about the Montessori method of thinking, she was able to see life through her toddler’s eyes and therefore understand them far more effectively.

Understanding the Montessori way

Dr. Maria Montessori is a world famous pioneer in early years’ development and education. She was also one of Italy’s first female doctors towards the end of the 1800s. She dedicated herself to helping less fortunate families in Rome for a time, observing childhood development and how children think and learn. Eventually, she tested her ideas through the school system in Italy and this went viral. Soon, there were Montessori schools worldwide. Maria Montessori died in 1952 but her principles live on.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
