How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way

Maria Montessori observed, over decades of working with children, that when you give a child the right environment, the right materials, and the right level of freedom, something remarkable happens: they teach themselves, with a focus and a persistence that no external motivation could produce. DK’s How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way is the practical guide to applying Montessori principles at home — covering how to prepare the child’s environment, how to support independence and self-directed learning, and how to encourage the specific cognitive and social skills that Montessori education develops.

The approach is practical, respectful, and based on a century of evidence about how children actually learn — applicable from birth through early childhood with equal effectiveness.

Essential reading for parents who want to support their child’s natural development. Published by DK.
