It has been forever since any of our families have sent pictures so I thought I'd redirect you to another wonderful blog. It is called A Montessori Home and is written by Cathy -another Montessori Teacher and parent. In the blog, Cathy answers many of the questions that come up when raising a child within the Montessori philosophy.
Give it a read. I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Thank you so much for the link to my blog, Cynthia! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are more than welcome. Cathy.
ReplyDeleteHi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your blog. I'm pregnant with my first child and would like to use the montessori principals. it's nice to see a working example.
I have a few questions if you don't mind helping me?
1. I noticed that you have skirting boards (base boards) and bookshelves etc. I have the same and I'm in a rented house so can't change it. I'm worried that I wont be able to get the furniture against the wall and secure it. Do you have yours secured to the wall? Is it safe? (am I worrying over something unnecessarily?)
2. The bed that you have on the floor, is it just a normal mattress? Are there any hygiene concerns about having a bed on the floor? I have carpet as you do, even if I vacuum regularly I imagine it will get dusty?
Thanks for your advice,
Corina
