I first experienced Montessori as a child and later as a teacher and paren!!! :) My mother was a Primary Montessori teacher. The Montessori Method is a way about thinking about who children are. It is a philosophy that respects the unique individuality of each child. I only wish they had a Montessori high school around here in Canada. Montessori teaching different from traditional teaching.

Okay, this is incredibly smart and sweet talk, and very culture specific. This is how it happened in my house: my mom would look at us and go (with no uncertainty in her voice): "Everybody to bed. I have to work tomorrow.", and we just went to bed. Control at 3 years of age? I was sixteen years old and about to get my driver's license and I knew that it could all go down the toilet if I upset my mom, because the car was hers. Nope, I had no control until I was twenty two and moved out. hahahaha. And even so, I didn't want to disappoint her.

For me, when I’m tempted to ask my child “put your shoes on OK?” The “OK” at the is not so much out of politeness, It‘s me wanting to know if he heard me and me wanting a response from him. But I realized I can just say “do you understand?” at the end of my requests and it accomplishes the same thing.

One of the BEST things we ever did was get parents immediately involved by doing Eduardo Cuevas' program, Because No One Was Born a Parent, at the beginning of every year. If you haven't seen it, it's available on DVD. It deals with how parents love their children (the many different kinds of love), the development of the brain and then the Montessori theories and how they fit into that development.

Thank you. That will definately help you as a parent and a teacher but even you are not, it will help you in relations with others. Teach by teaching is just awesome!

[@feliciavincent4244]

This video is really effective and very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this.It helps in understanding parent child relations very well.

[@missyminx5989]

Its not about learning to be a parent, its about being a better parent or improving your parenting ways. You can take tips on parenting through the experience of others. Its up to you if you can apply it or not to your child, as each child is a different world and every parent knows how they work. That doesnt mean you cannot do better. NO parent is perfect silly goose.

[@CheFab1984]

WoW 😮 I learned something myself.

[@katarzynagnyp626]

Thank you for this video, very interesting speech

[@cmtlussier]

Thank you so much for these videos. I like to listen to them every once in awhile as a refresher. I also forward them to parents at my school. On a humourous note, my 12 year old is listening along with me this morning. He pointed out okay? at 11:18. I'm sure I'll be realizing just how much I say it in the foreseeable future :)

[@parentingtothemax5979]

I love this story! Thank you for sharing it!!!

[@sonasanku]

[@OlufunmilayodaSilva]

Really helpful

[@pebre79]

Good stuff

[@missyminx5989]

I agree with you. At home when my child would hit us (all experience that and it can be scary haha) then we would say "instead hit lets hug" and if she bit, cause she was in that stage also where she thought it was funny but not us, we would say "instead bite lets kiss!". It worked for us.

[@katarzynagnyp626]

Children have real emotions, you can’t say to upset person just to give a hug.

[@esc2820]

Miss Donna....How do you get your parents to actually attend your speech? My wife and I own a Montessori School in VA, it almost seems as if here, parents want their children to be babies. They do not want independent children. It is impossible to get through to these parents that what they create now is what their child is going to be when they grow up.

[@NicoleShizzle]

esc2820 I live in VA!! Northern VA to be exact :)

[@toxicjubilations]

You would be surprised!

[@yatindrakumarmishra2930]

nice one.

[@laudyibarra]

Great advices

[@lucieann21]

Excellent talks! My son is 6 and I found a lot of this helpful :)

[@TeganMFoxx]

Also check out Love & Logic videos on KZbin. Very helpful parenting techniques.

[@elizabethgivens1968]

You need to research the term punishment as part of the mechanics of operant learning. I think the term you are describing and objecting to is "revenge". Punishment is any stimulus that, when added or removed causes a decrease in behavior.

[@mentorssori100]

I did not like the end of the video where she explained that she dropped her child when her child hit her, you can use different strategies as sometimes children can not control their anger and frustration and their way of expressing it is done through hitting or biting which is of course still unacceptable but you deal with it in various ways that does not involve physical threat or fear especially in school setting. The rest is actually very good.

[@DanChainsawman]

The line between discipline and punishment can be very very very thin.

[@kimithy]

this stuff is basically the same as 'growing kids gods way'

[@khawlaalthani]

What do u think if a teacher tells you that she punished your child ??

[@NYChica23]

First thing I'd do is ask the teacher specifically why she punished my child...if it's something that I believe is worthy of discipline, then he or she would also be disciplined by me when I got home, but if it's something minor, like a 5 year old being punished for doing normal 5 year old stuff, then I'd calmly tell the teacher that in that particular case, she was wrong.

[@lollipopknox]

omg try having teenagers and 4 year olds together!!!!!!

[@madihasalman2199]

my son is 18 months old and he's already realised that he can say NO

[@georgetteshorts4955]

This ladey is off bete and steppe

[@charliefeinbloom786]

I say anyone that needs to watch shit like this should not have kids you can't learn to be a parent from some one else
