To do Montessori better, it’s important to avoid a few common pitfalls when first starting Montessori out. I understand that doing Montessori correctly can be overwhelming, but you are not alone. I’ll tell you about a good path to take on your Montessori learning journey.

As you continue to hear “Do this.” or “Do that.” I want you to remember three important things because you will need to avoid them. You’ll see why as we progress through this training.

Episode 60: 3 Things you should avoid when starting Montessori

As you become more comfortable with the Montessori way of learning, you can build your collection gradually. The Montessori method is an art. It’s a form of teaching that needs practice, observation and experience to master.

Even though watching videos or reading stories about experienced and educated Montessorians is exciting, you should be aware that it takes time to understand your own children’s specific needs and desires.

Avoid using too many Montessori materials at first, as this can lead to confusion and overwhelm. Consider which activities are most important to your and your child’s development and prioritize them. You do not need to purchase an entire set of Montessori materials right away; you can always add more later.

Finally, beginning Montessori with too much structure is not advised. It’s critical to give your child the freedom to explore and discover new things without feeling obligated to do so.
