Episode 27: Learning about Montessori with Simone Davies

On this week’s episode of the Health Ignited Podcast, Drs. Nick and Sonya Jensen interview Montessori Teacher, Author, Workshop Leader and Blogger, Simone Davies about her experience with Montessori and advice for incorporating these principles and approaches into our own homes.

In this discussion, Simone shares insight into the history of Montessori, the four planes of development (as outlined by Dr. Montessori), empowering methods for communicating trust and appreciation to our children, the concept of acknowledgment versus praise, and tips for bringing the practices of Montessori teaching into our homes.

The Montessori method of teaching is built on self-directed activity, collaborative play and hands-on, practical learning. It emphasizes independence and supports and celebrates individuality. Simone shares that her main message for children and families is to be authentically yourself; she elaborates that Montessori is about accepting every child exactly as they are, as well as learning to respect others for their differences.

On May 11, 2021, The Montessori Baby (co-writtten with Junnifa Uzodike) will be added to the collection, which focuses on the developmental period from conception through the first year.
