Cathryn Jones “I’ve followed Simone for a while and find her instagram really helpful and was very much looking forward to this book.
Positives: Book is well laid out, easy to dip in and out and to read small sections at a time. Beautiful illustrations. Following some big Montessori Instagram accounts had left me feeling a bit overwhelmed but Simone makes incorporating the approach simple and achievable. I also feel that her age appropriateness suggestions for activities were reasonable. Simple suggestions on how to make little tweaks to your home to set a child up for success and independence. I like the emphasis put on spending time outdoors. Strategies for respectful parenting with limits have really helped me (and I particularly like the ‘instead of this, say that’ page).
Negatives: language work suggestions with flashcards etc seem tedious and time consuming to set up and unnecessary, I don’t think language acquisition needs to be forced like that. Book advises against playpens but doesn’t take into account different houses have different layouts where a child’s playspace can’t always be in your eyeline or that they can be made a cosy and comforting space. Advice re stand up diapering doesn’t really work for cloth nappies which I find impossible to fit properly unless lying down. Book assumes a certain level of income and privilege (ie, if you live in a city, take trips to lake or mountains) and even what the author suggests as simple and cheap modifications to your home aren’t in reality especially if you change a lot at one time. Book also assumes children are all able bodied. My daughter is deaf and a very late walker. Surely she has encountered a wide variety of children with additional needs in her work as a Montessori teacher? Some perspective on applying the approach with children who fall outside the normal range of developmental milestones might have been helpful and more inclusive. The biggest disappointment however was the advice on sleep. I don’t know what qualifications the author has to make sleep suggestions but I was very surprised to find advice against feeding to sleep and encouraging self settling from birth. Whilst the author advises against cry-it-out alone, she does advocate a crying to sleep approach whilst you are in the room. This seems the opposite of the Montessori approach of ‘follow the child’. Forcing a child that wants to be cuddled to sleep to fall asleep alone seems the opposite of this and I for one doubt that I will look back on my child’s babyhood and wish I had sat on a chair and read in their room whilst they cried instead of rocking them to sleep.”
Miss “This book has changed our lives for the better, pretty much overnight. I have an especially strong willed 16 month old, and while I feel I’ve been coping ok with some of the big toddler themes (ie. strong emotions, increasing autonomy) I’ve had a nagging sense that things didn’t have to be quite so hard and that I wasn’t really meeting my daughter’s needs. This book has given me the tools to do exactly, and to meet my own needs as well. It’s helped me to see how I can reorganise our home and life to make things more harmonious for all of us, and given me some very simple but incredibly effective techniques for dealing with some of our biggest challenges (such as nappy changes). It’s beautifully written and put together – it really felt like a treat to read – and (like many of the best books about parenting, see also Philippa Perry) has given me some profound and constructive insights into myself as well as my daughter. After all, we’re pretty much all toddlers on the inside, right? I don’t think I had any idea how capable my child is before reading this book, nor how fun and satisfying both of us would find collaborating together on small everyday tasks. Today, for instance, we worked out how my daughter could climb into her big chair by herself, and used a stepladder, a small chopping board, a spreader and a (not very sharp) knife to make lunch together. Yes we had some tears and yes we had some wilful contrariness but these are part of the normal toddler experience. What we did not have is horrible meltdowns over unavoidable issues (nappy changes again) that left both of us feeling awful. And both of our overall moods seemed better throughout the day. This book has also helped me to understand and appreciate what she does at nursery more. I really love its emphasis on bringing your life into sync with your toddler’s interests and growing abilities in small and sustainable ways. And the information is presented in such a memorable way – while I”m sure I’ll read it again and again, I’m amazed at how much I’ve remembered and how easy it has been to implement the advice in all sorts of challenging toddler situations. Ok I’ve said enough but seriously – don’t deliberate, just get this book.”
Isibez “This book has really enthused me to re-frame the way I look at a lot of my parenting skills for my nearly three year and one year old it really is eye opening. I have read it cover to cover this week and have truly found it life changing – sounds dramatic I know!! I have been falling into a lot of traps recently and this gives me a clear and straight forward path to improve the connection I have with my children and raise children who feel seen and know how to find satisfaction from within. I had fallen into the trap of saying good girl or well done in every sentence and now looking back it was hollow and vacuous. I’m now really observing my kids, I’m feeding back on what they have done not praising with every sentence as I want them to do the right thing as they understand that it feels better for them not to please me. It’s weird but this book has touched on everything I am struggling with right now and gives direct feedback on how to change – no waffle! Gosh I could go on and on but if you are feeling disconnected, frustrated and like you have a short fuse with your toddler I implore you to read this and feel refreshed, revived and ready to face another full on day with two tantrumming toddlers! I really
Hope she writes a follow on book for children aged 4 upwards as I would love to have that at the ready as my two change and develop. Best (and only) parenting book you need I’d you have toddlers!! I’ve never actually made it through others as I zone out with all the text but this is so direct and beautifully presented I couldn’t put it down.”
V “This book is fantastic! I bought this book looking for more ways to incorporate Montessori philosophies with my toddler at home. What I wasn’t expecting was all the incredible parenting advice that came with this book. It is like an expanded version of “How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way” (Tim Seldin) specific for toddlers that meets a summarized version of “Positive Discipline: The First Three Years” (Jane Nelsen) with a layout that makes reading it fly by. Not to mention the gorgeous photography throughout.
The author’s charts in the back of the book are SO helpful! She has an “Instead of this, say that” section as well as a list of suggestions of activities for your child broken down by age. I will frequently be referencing back to both of these charts. I also loved all the books she referenced to throughout her book. The ones I haven’t already read sounded so intriguing that I added them to my to-be-read list. Clearly my parenting style is very in line with the author’s so I found it easy to love this book.
And finally, the chapter on “Putting it into Practice” was a gold mine. The author tackles subjects like feeding, sleeping, toileting, pacifiers, siblings, brushing teeth, getting dressed, sharing, hiting, biting, throwing, clingy stages, screen time, and even how to help build skills for an introverted toddler. There were times when I wanted more from the author on a specific topic, but in those times she generally referenced further reading which works well for me since I enjoy reading. She gives such a great over-view of each topic!
All in all, this book is excellent! I would highly recommend it for any parent or caregiver of toddlers.”
