C’est à l’âge du niveau des classes maternelles, entre 2 ans et 6 ans, qu’il est essentiel de développer l’autonomie du jeune enfant. Rendre le petit enfant autonome lui permettra de développer sa confiance en lui car il ne se sentira plus dépendant de l’adulte et capable de faire les choses par lui-même. C’est la raison pour laquelle beaucoup d’écoles Montessori s’appellent « aide-moi à faire moi-même ». Aide-moi à faire seul.

The enthusiasm and creativity of parents intent on making their children more independent (and happier) never fails to amaze me. I also love that these parents are so willing to share their ideas.

Montessori Toddlers Who Are Not Yet Peaceful: Dealing With a Tantrum the Montessori Way. This year long series looks at the experiences of teachers, parents, students, and Montessori education itself, as we follow a student through his first year at a Montessori Preschool.

The Montessori Insights and Reflections of a Preschool Student’s First Year is a collection of useful stories, tips, and information that has arisen from one real student's Montessori journey, viewed through the eyes of his Montessori Teacher, Bree Von Nes. Toddlers Who are Not Yet Peaceful Toddlers and tantrums tend to go hand in hand, and it is important to remember that this phase will pass. A temper tantrum is usually a result of the child not being able to effectively express himself verbally, which leads to intense frustration. I have had young Montessori students over the years who battle with temper tantrums; it can be a helpless feeling for the Montessori teacher at times, especially when you feel like you have tried everything!

It is vital to figure out what works for the individual child.
