We have started adding concepts to our home like doing for yourself and having responsibilities. I have one 2 and half year old. But sometimes he just refuses and I am not sure how to respond? Any help would be appreciated. I am looking for resources on how Montessori does disipline. We have started adding concepts to our home like doing for yourself and having responsibilities.

I appreciate the time you must have put into this, and in particular your honesty regarding expectations. I imagine the way Montessori "looks and functions" in the classroom setting vs. the homeschool setting is quite different. I am finding that the beauty of the environment and the attractiveness of the materials have provided my children with some extraordinary opportunities for making connections. It has been challenging at times, but very rewarding, and I attribute your resources as being a big part of any of the successes we have had! In particular your Comprehensive Lists have been life savers since I enjoy exposing all of my children (in a wide range of ages) to a variety of Montessori approaches to subjects. I haven't felt boxed in at all, but as your post suggests have found a great deal of freedom in adapting various materials to meet the needs of my individual children, as well as bringing in a beautiful variety of other educational philosophies. It is in this freedom that I find the greatest comfort, we tailor to fit our individual families. Montessori has been an overwhelming fit with this family! Thank you for all you do to help me make this form of learning a success! This was an excellent post, Lori!

Without at least an overview of why the materials work, or of what comes next, Montessori materials look like so much gibberish in the schoolroom. <br/><br/>I liked this post. Thank you!

Thanks for that info. I put them under "Online Training Programs", not centers, so I think that is accurate.

Though, they are not an online training center. They have beautiful 4-color printed albums that are full of Montessori methods, lessons, and presentations. Students are paired up with a tutor to whom they have access during their self-directed study. <br/><br/>Currently, NAMC has programs for infant/toddler, ages 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12. They also have a home-school curriculum in the works.<br/><br/>Michelle Thank you for listing the North American Training Center. Though, they are not an online training center.

It took awhile to put this together (always longer than I think!), so I hope this is helpful. <br/><br/>Theresa, I like what you say about the adaptability of homeschooling. It's true, we can adapt it to fit each child, our homes, and our own personalities too. So flexible! Thanks for the comments, ladies!
