What can parents do to help their youngest children in their process of self-formation? So how exactly does the Montessori approach to hands-on learning and self-discovery relate to the youngest newborns? This authoritative and accessible book answers these and many other questions. Predicated on Dr. Maria Montessori's instructions for increasing infants, its thorough exploration of the first three years incorporates the fixtures and tools she designed for the attention and comfort of babies. From the design of the baby's bedroom to the child-sized dining room table, from diet and preparing food to clothing and movements, the authors provide guidance for the establishment of a beautiful and serviceable environment for babies and very young children. They introduce ideas and tasks, taking into account childrens' "sensitive intervals" for learning such skills as dressing themselves, preparing food, and bathroom training. Brimming with anecdote and encouragement, and written in a clear, participating style, Montessori from the Start is a functional and useful guide to increasing calm, competent, and assured children.
