What's the rush? In this episode, Montessori expert Simone Davies joins Maren and Eva to discuss the power of slowing down in parenting. She shares how letting children explore at their own pace can turn everyday moments—like a walk down the street—into discovery adventures. Simone offers simple, mindful ideas that parents can use to nurture curiosity and independence. Montessori principles, she explains, make it easier to support children's natural learning without overwhelming ourselves. Simone reminds us that Montessori is a journey for parents, too, requiring patience, a sense of curiosity, and the right community to support us. From adjusting activities to match a child's needs to modeling calm and presence, Simone shows how even small changes can transform our routines and foster more meaningful family connections. With her practical tips, this episode helps set up a home environment that balances freedom and boundaries, bringing more joy and ease to parenting.

In this episode of Thriving Parenting, I explored effective communication strategies with toddlers, particularly around sleep times. Drawing insights from Simone Davies' Montessori approach and her toddler sleep ebook, she provides a deep dive into understanding toddler behavior and needs. This episode's key topics include the necessity of movement and exploration for toddlers, the importance of consistent boundaries, and creating safe spaces for them to explore. The episode also covers the impact of parental emotional triggers, the importance of healthy communication, and how to foster independence in toddlers. Practical tips are shared for managing bedtime routines, handling transitions, and encouraging toddler participation in family activities. By emphasising empathy, patience, and predictable routines, the episode aims to help parents support their toddlers' development and improve their own parenting experience.

The post How to Raise Capable and Compassionate Children with Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

As a parent myself, I'm always seeking ways to expand my knowledge and create a nurturing environment for Ollie and Keira. The Montessori approach has been particularly intriguing to me because of its emphasis on fostering independence, curiosity, and respect in children. By providing tools for success, encouraging their abilities, and giving them space to develop independently, the Montessori way offers a powerful alternative to conventional parenting. It helps children develop critical thinking, self-discipline, and a love for learning while maintaining a respectful and collaborative parent-child relationship. In this episode, experienced Montessori educators and advocates Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike share invaluable insights on integrating Montessori principles into the daily lives of school-aged children. We explore key differences between Montessori and traditional parenting, debunk common misconceptions, and offer practical tips for cultivating respect and handling tantrums with grace. Discover how to balance nurturing and spoiling, create meaningful connections, and bring joy into modern parenting. Simone and Junnifa also discuss the importance of co-regulation, unlearning traditional parenting practices, and adjusting to the Montessori approach.

Montessori is often thought of as an educational philosophy, but my guests for today's episode, Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike, are committed to bringing Montessori into the home and guiding parents through the principles of Montessori to enhance their children's development and foster respectful relationships with their families and the world. Over the years, I've learned how much alignment there is in the strength-based parenting approach we subscribe to in our community, where we see and respect our children as the unique humans they are, with the core principles of Montessori, which prioritizes meeting our children where they are and being a guide for them as they navigate their childhood. So I invited Simone and Junnifa to come on the show to talk about how we can apply these Montessori principles to parenting our neurodivergent kids and some of the other concepts they write about in their lovely new book, The Montessori Child: A Parent's Guide to Raising Capable Children with Creative Minds and Compassionate Hearts.   About Simone Davies Simone Davies is the author of The Montessori Toddler and co-author of The Montessori Baby and The Montessori Child books, comprehensive guides to raising children in a Montessori way.Simone is an AMI Montessori educator based in Amsterdam.

Focus on those things that make them who they are.” - Junnifa Uzodike “Be the child's guide on their journey, accept them for who they are, and step back to see that they are capable.”  “Teenagers just want to be able to feel they belong and make a change in the world.” “Just let yourself grow through the highs and lows of everything that you learned.” - Simone Davies “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.” - Dr. Maria Montessori   Click here for more from Jeanne-Mariem, Your Parenting Mentor.

In this episode of Tilt Parenting, I bring back to the show Simone Davies, a Montessori teacher and parent educator who runs a Montessori playgroup in Amsterdam for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers up to four years old. Through her online business, The Montessori Notebook, Simone focuses on helping parents learn how to bring Montessori into their home. Today Simone and I are talking about the “spaces” in our home—specifically how we can best design and set them up to support our differently-wired kids. I've watched as Simone developed her virtual e-course, Setting Up Your Home Montessori Style, and I was struck by how the approach she talks about in her course directly relates to the things we as parents can do to support our kids in developing those crucial executive functioning skills, like task initiation, time management, planning, and organizing, as well as fostering independence. In this episode, we'll talk about how we can set up our homes—our kitchen, bedroom, shoes and coat area, homework space—to support our children in fostering these skills.  Simone Davies is also the author of The Montessori Toddler, a comprehensive guide to raising your toddler in a Montessori way. It includes Montessori activities, how to set up your home, and how to encourage cooperation from your children, and The Montessori Baby. Things you'll learn from this episode How to set up the shoes and coat area to help kids “get out the door” with success and independenceHow making checklists for our kids can instill in them a sense of responsibility while also easing transitionsWhat parents who aren't naturally organized can support themselvesThe gifts of decluttering and clearing our spaceThe importance of making a homework space inviting and distraction-freeTips for setting up spaces to foster more independence in childrenWhy making things attractive, cozy, and comfortable benefits our kids Resources mentioned for supporting children's growth at home The Montessori NotebookSimone Davies on Strategies for Staying Calm in Difficult SituationsSetting Up Your Home Montessori-Style Julie George on the Role of Executive Functioning in Differently-Wired Kids Switch: How to Change Things When Change is HardSupport the showConnect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram

Special guest: Simone Davies,Let's face it. When people hear the word; “toddler” it often conjures up thoughts of “the terrible twos,” torrential tantrums and tirades that feature the word “NO!” in big capital letters. There are frustrations about toddlers not listening, not eating fruits and vegetables, not sleeping, not listening, not allowing parents to go to go out on a date or go to the bathroom without their company. But what if I told you that by looking at life through a toddler's eyes and using the methods developed by Dr. Montessori, you can learn the peaceful way of raising a toddler to become a curious, responsible, kind individual? That is exactly what we are going to do today with our next guest. Simone Davies is the author of “The Montessori Toddler”, runs parent-child Montessori classes in Amsterdam at her school Jacaranda Tree Montessori, and is mother of two young adults. She also has a popular blog, “The Montessori Notebook”.

Finding Montessori helped her so much when raising her own children and it's now her passion to help other parents introduce these ideas in their homes too. She was looking to find a way to be with her kids that wasn't about bossing them about, threatening them and bribing them. Or giving them free reign either. And she wanted them to have a positive experience of school, not just to pass tests, but to love learning.

In Episode 10 I will share a brief on pregnancy updates and our first week of returning to daycare. Although we had more thorns than rose this week, I share how my doctor's helped me feel more at ease with all these changes we are experiencing. Lastly, I finish with talking about some methods I used to help name these changes to my toddler. And I also share some Montessori methods I read about in The Montessori Toddler, by Simone Davies, that could have helped us out had the circumstances been different. Maybe they can help you!

Simone Davies is the author of 'The Montessori Toddler' and 'The Montessori Baby,' two books about Montessori methods to education and parenting. Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play and is proven to be a highly successful method for child development.

Today we are talking about Montessori! One of my favorite topics since becoming a mom. I love the Montessori approach, and we have implemented Montessori at home in many ways with our toddler.  I highly recommend the book The Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies and The Absorbent Mind by Maria Montessori   I would love to connect with you! Instagram @sustainable.motherhood Email sustainablemotherhood@gmail.com Thank you so much for listening! 

How do you feel after you make a purchase?  Do you feel good about your decision? Do you have guilt over it?  Diana shares her first time buying home decor that was fairtrade, something she didn't realize even existed.  Her purchasing experience was very unlike previous purchases which prompted her to start Saltbox Sash. Saltbox Sash is everything home decor that is also fair trade.  Often when we think of fair trade items we think of coffee, tea, and chocolate, but Diana is bringing light to a whole new array of fair trade products that we can use to make our houses a home.  Her products are from all over the world and connect her customers with ethically sourced and high-quality goods.   We also dive into how to teach our children the importance of fairtrade products and how we can get them involved in fun ways as well as engage in constructive dialogue around the topic.  I share a story of taking my children with me overseas to visit some of the areas we were getting our fair trade products from and the impact that has had on their lives and how they are implementing a sustainable lifestyle today in their own lives.   Topics Discussed: Expanding our view of fairtrade products. Why it's important to start small with a more fairtrade lifestyle.  How do we teach our kids about fairtrade? Simple steps to start living more sustainably. --   SUBSCRIBE TO START SMALL: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/start-small/id1537390467 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/49cOe3NI7OHSXACpUsQSkC Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcjQKGox5xnowa3nD1J5vGQ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/start-small TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/Start-Small-p1380487/ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tb3lhYXNoZWFidXR0ZXIubGlic3luLmNvbS9wbGF5ZXJmbQ   Connect with Diana: Website: https://www.saltboxsash.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopsaltboxsash/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/saltboxsash/_shop/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saltboxsash/   Resources Mentioned: Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies: https://www.amazon.com/Montessori-Toddler-Parents-Raising-Responsible/dp/152350689X/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=montessori+toddler&qid=1614373704&sr=8-5 Simone Davie's Podcast: https://www.themontessorinotebook.com/the-montessori-notebook-podcast/ Connect with us!

Have you ever struggled with finding toys that keep your child entertained?  Have you felt that you no sooner buy them a toy than they are bored with it and are wanting something new?  In the episode, I sit down with Ashley from Farmhouse 598 as she explains to us how less is often more with our children's toys.  She explains to us simple ways we can implement the Montessori learning approach in order to enrich our children's lives.  She also gives us some easy hacks we can all implement to bring back excitement over old toys that our children already have. We follow her journey from becoming an educated teacher to coming back into woodworking and how she now uses that skill to create children's toys from wood which is far more sustainable and long-lasting, and better for the child's development. Ashley is also a homesteader and uses the Montessori approach in homeschooling. We dive into the benefits of this type of learning as well as how it makes the child's play areas more aesthetically pleasing and avoids the over-stimulation and lack of creativity that many toys today bring.  We will also learn about creative ways to keep your child entertained and how so often less is more with creativity.  Ashley talks about how to watch your child discover their playing habits in order to get new ideas for how to stimulate their playtime.     Topics Discussed: Being a woman in a male-dominated space. The Montessori approach to learning. The benefits of wooden toys and toy rotation. Dealing with relatives who want to buy too many gifts for your child. --   SUBSCRIBE TO START SMALL: iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/start-small/id1537390467 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/49cOe3NI7OHSXACpUsQSkC Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcjQKGox5xnowa3nD1J5vGQ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/start-small TuneIn: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Health--Wellness-Podcasts/Start-Small-p1380487/ Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tb3lhYXNoZWFidXR0ZXIubGlic3luLmNvbS9wbGF5ZXJmbQ   Connect with Ashley: Website: https://www.farmhouse598.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/farmhouse598/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farmhouse598 Email: ashley@farmhouse598.com       Resources Mentioned: Montessori Toddler by Simone Davies: https://www.amazon.com/Montessori-Toddler-Parents-Raising-Responsible/dp/152350689X/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=montessori+toddler&qid=1614373704&sr=8-5 Simone Davie's Podcast: https://www.themontessorinotebook.com/the-montessori-notebook-podcast/ Connect with us!

But if you are like me, you may not understand exactly what it involves. In this interview, with Simone Davies from The Montessori Notebook, we take a deep dive into the Montessori Method to understand how it can be applied in an educational context, but also how you can use the same principles at home to help develop creative, independent and resilient children. What You'll LearnWho was Dr Maria Montessori?The history of the Montessori MethodWhat age groups does Montessori apply to? The current resurgence of the Montessori CurriculumSome of the cultural difference in parenting in the NetherlandsHow to apply Montessori methods at homeThe SHOW technique for teaching toddlers How is The Montessori Method different from Reggio Emilia and Rudolf Steiner? Resources available on The Montessori Notebook websiteSimone's new book “The Montessori Baby” Three other books that Simone recommendsMore informationShow notes and links to the references mentioned in this interview are available at https://thedadtrain.com/36

Have you set up independent activities for your little ones in the home? Listen in to learn how to help them get involved with daily life tasks such as food preparation and tidying up. Happy to have Simone Davies back to finish up the conversation we started in Episode 02. For her full introduction, see the show notes from that episode. Simone has been working with toddlers for over a decade and I'm excited to dig deeper into how we can truly respect our youngest humans.   What we talked about: Why saying ‘good job!” can be a demotivator. The importance of allowing time for your child to develop. Language development and avoiding using baby talk. Ways to involve children in daily life tasks. Finding ways to work with children by helping them find solutions. Letting them know how capable they truly are.    Things to Remember: "Don't look at your child to fill your cup. Fill your own." - Simone Davies "It's the process they are learning, not the product that is important."  - Simone Davies   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie Paynel, Your Parenting Mentor. 

Excited to be sharing my first interview! To commemorate the launch of my podcast, I asked my friend and colleague, Simone Davies, to share some of her wisdom with us.    Simone and I met online quite a few years ago. We then met in person in her home town of Amsterdam and became fast friends and collaborators in sharing our common passion with the world.   What we Talked About So everyone could get to know her a bit better, Simone answered my set of expert questions.    Then, we dove into 10 ways we can show respect to our child. We actually only got through 4 of them so we will definitely have to have her back to finish the list.    Listen in to learn all about the ones we did cover, which are: Soft Hands Listening to the Child Kind Words Accepting them for who they are   Things to Remember: "Set freedom within limits in a kind way." -Simone Davies "See your child for who they are with fresh eyes every day, every hour, every minute." -Simone Davies   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor.

Special guest: Simone Davies,Let's face it. When people hear the word; “toddler” it often conjures up thoughts of “the terrible twos,” torrential tantrums and tirades that feature the word “NO!” in big capital letters. There are frustrations about toddlers not listening, not eating fruits and vegetables, not sleeping, not listening, not allowing parents to go to go out on a date or go to the bathroom without their company. But what if I told you that by looking at life through a toddler's eyes and using the methods developed by Dr. Montessori, you can learn the peaceful way of raising a toddler to become a curious, responsible, kind individual? That is exactly what we are going to do today with our next guest. Simone Davies is the author of “The Montessori Toddler”, runs parent-child Montessori classes in Amsterdam at her school Jacaranda Tree Montessori, and is mother of two young adults. She also has a popular blog, “The Montessori Notebook”.

Finding Montessori helped her so much when raising her own children and it's now her passion to help other parents introduce these ideas in their homes too. She was looking to find a way to be with her kids that wasn't about bossing them about, threatening them and bribing them. Or giving them free reign either. And she wanted them to have a positive experience of school, not just to pass tests, but to love learning.

Most of us know that our kids could be more self-sufficient and helpful around the house than they are today. We look back on our own childhoods and see that we developed life skills much earlier than our own kids, but for various reasons — including our tendency to pack our schedules with activities that are focussed on the kids, we haven't made this a priority with our own children. So how do we go about raising our kids in a way that both nurtures them and helps them develop abilities to care for themselves and to contribute to their households and communities? If you're heard anything about Montessori education, you likely know that it puts a lot of importance on practical life. I'm joined today by Simone Davies, a Montessori teacher and the author of The Montessori Toddler: A Parents Guide to Raising a Curious and Responsible Human Being. While the book focuses on the toddler years, it's guidance on the Montessori philosophy is relevant to all ages. Simone and I talk about how our kids are capable of far more than we may currently be expecting of them, and how to cultivate the self-sufficiency and life skills they'll need to thrive when they eventually leave the nest.

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Simone Davies, Author of  THE MONTESSORI TODDLER.              Toddlers can be a handful. They won't eat, won't sleep, won't listen, and in general go left when their parents want them to go right! But toddlerhood can bring as many frustrations (is that chocolate in the carpet?), as it does joys (“I did it all by myself!”)—and by raising a child the Montessori way, parents learn to view their child through a new lens and enjoy their toddler for who they genuinely are.             And now with THE MONTESSORI TODDLER: A PARENT'S GUIDE TO RAISING A CURIOUS AND RESPONSIBLE HUMAN BEING (March 19, 2019), written by specially certified Montessori educator Simone Davies, parents can bring Montessori principles into their home. Montessori is a 100-year-old educational method taught at 4,000 Montessori schools around the country, and another 20,000 worldwide.             Drawing from Davies 15 years of experience from teaching the Montessori method to thousands of parents, THE MONTESSORI TODDLER offers parents step-by-step, practical ideas for raising self-sufficient, curious, and independent toddlers and children.
