69: A floor bed instead of a crib!? With Mariana Bissonnette
Have you considered using a floor bed instead of a crib? Listen in as my guest explains why this is beneficial for the entire family. What We Talked About: Her personal discovery of Montessori education Why using a floor bed rather than a crib makes a lot of sense Understanding that we are often at odds with the child Helping children do tasks by themselves Conventional Education vs. Traditional Education Things to Remember: “The conflict is not with the child. The conflict is in the development that I’m misunderstanding.” “What makes it most challenging is when we are out of sync with what the child is trying to do.” “Resistance is a form of Independence.” “Find a community to connect that you can rely on as you navigate parenting.” - Mariana Bissonnette “These words reveal the child’s inner needs; ‘Help me to do it alone.” “Adults move because their will directs them, but not so with the small child. The small child is urged by nature.” – Dr. Maria Montessori Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor
