Montessori in a Nutshell & Translations
The Montessori method of education is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) claimed she did not invent a method but instead learned to observe children and discover the true nature of human development and learning.
Montessori left us with not only a very effective method for educating children, but also a philosophy for life and peace in today’s world. Montessori in a Nutshell offers parents, educators and philosophers an opportunity to get a taste of both the method and philosophy in this easy-to-read short book. Read it in a day or keep it as a convenient reference.
This book is currently available in 9 languages. Some of the ebook versions of these titles are not available on Amazon but can be purchased at Barnes & Noble.
Conscious Parent
The Conscious Parent – Society is moving on from using violence to solve differences. Parents are moving on from using violence to discipline and educate their children. With consciousness, parents can equip themselves and their children for the new world. The Conscious Parent asks parents to examine and question the parenting techniques inherited from previous generations and to become conscious of the way in which they influence their children, and through their children, the world.
Old methods of parenting such as negative criticism, punishment and rewards are due to be discarded. Parenting in our time needs to be based on respect, contained freedom, clear guidance and, above all, parental consciousness.
