1. What’s More Powerful Than Good Job?

2. The Trouble with Sticker Charts

Read three reasons why sticker charts, meant to motivate and help a child, actually undermine their natural inclination to learn!

3. Movement in Montessori

Children learn through movement. Why, then, do grown-ups require that they sit still in the classroom? Read our analysis plus the original New York Times article on movement.

4. No Tests, No Homework, No Grades

One dad doesn’t require that his children take tests, do homework or look at grades. How did he come to this decision, and is it right for your family?

5. The More Breakable the Better

Children naturally respect breakable objects. That’s why, in a Montessori classroom, you’ll see even the youngest children using glass and ceramic. See how to incorporate this concept at home!

Thank you for following along this past year! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We look forward to sharing new parenting and Montessori inspiration with you in 2018. In the meantime, enjoy 2017 while it lasts.
