The main guide or teacher during these years had taken AMI teacher training courses for 0-3, 3-6, and 6-12 and had taught for many years. Even though this is not to be thought of as an instruction manual for Montessori homeschooling it is hoped that the book will be helpful for parents and teachers wanting to understand the value of a unique educational path, rather than thinking that all children should be educated exactly the same way (in both traditional and Montessori schools). The idea is following the child.Also I hope it will help growing children and young adults feel that their own choices, their own individuality, can be respected. I believe that unique and creative educational paths such as this one will help solve the problems of the future.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555024904465,"sku":"GOR013745708","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392898142481,"sku":"CIN1879264277G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054483439889,"sku":"NIN9781879264274","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1879264277.jpg?v=1751155692"},{"product_id":"no-checkmate-montessori-chess-lessons-for-age-3-90-book-susan-mayclin-stephenson-9781879264182","title":"NO CHECKMATE, Montessori Chess Lessons for Age 3-90+","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49645857243409,"sku":"GOR010699221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50403192307985,"sku":"CIN1879264188G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054470955281,"sku":"NIN9781879264182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53158439190801,"sku":"CIN1879264188VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1879264188.jpg?v=1751281998"},{"product_id":"red-corolla-book-susan-mayclin-stephenson-9781879264229","title":"The Red Corolla","description":"This is not a book to be read straight through. Rather it is a reference book to be consulted by parents and teachers wishing to round out their own general knowledge, and their methods of sharing the world of biology, the arts, physics, history, and geography, with children. Basic principles, such as the creation of practical life work, sensorial experiences, and language, are repeated within each section so that the adult can focus on one area of culture at a time. Although the main emphasis is on the child from age 3-6 years, there is also reference to other stages of development. The Montessori glossary is extensive and helpful and there are two articles, previously published in international Montessori journals, that help the reader fully understand the concept of cosmic education, which is a method of connecting all aspects of culture, and life in its fullness, in preparation for the human being to find his or her own productive and enjoyable place in the whole.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49684882194705,"sku":"CIN1879264226G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49779626180881,"sku":"CIN1879264226VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054473543953,"sku":"NIN9781879264229","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52162729050385,"sku":"GOR014498651","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52723262390545,"sku":"GOR011849840","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1879264226.jpg?v=1759227620"},{"product_id":"educacion-cosmica-montessori-book-susan-mayclin-stephenson-9781879264335","title":"Educación Cósmica Montessori","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054488355089,"sku":"NIN9781879264335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1879264331.jpg?v=1750995980"},{"product_id":"montessori-for-family-and-community-book-susan-mayclin-stephenson-9781879264380","title":"Montessori For Family and Community","description":"Montessori theory and practical ideas, for birth to age eighteen, that can be used in homes and the wider community, as well as in schools","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52518929334545,"sku":"CIN1879264382G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52755933724945,"sku":"NIN9781879264380","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781879264380.jpg?v=1760542333"},{"product_id":"joy-and-purpose-the-infant-toddler-years-book-susan-mayclin-stephenson-9781879264397","title":"Joy and Purpose, the Infant-Toddler Years","description":"Today, discoveries in psychology and neuroscience back up what I have discovered, that the words \"joy\" and \"purpose\" are linked in the most successful examples of living life-throughout childhood and adult life. Having a purpose that provides physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance in one's own life naturally results in a desire to contribute to the good of all. And a feeling of joy is often the result.

Here are some examples of her stories: preparing a group of elementary students in the Virgin Islands to run the class on their own; learning how to teach Montessori with no Montessori materials in a private girls school in Peru; applying Montessori in everyday situations by means of a Q and A newspaper column (twenty topics including self-esteem, preparing the home for a newborn, multiple intelligences, teenage troubles, homeschooling, and more); helping poor village children in a boarding school in Kathmandu, and blind children in Tibet; meeting with five other Montessori teachers, doctors, philosophers, educators, scientists, and the Dalai Lama in Sikkim to solve the country's educational problems; visiting a school where Montessori helps severely disabled children and young adults in Russia; initiating a \"first Year Montessori project\" in an orphanage, helping village schools, and lecturing on the first Montessori 3-6 training course in Morocco. Susan shares two stories from a meeting of Educateurs sans Frontières in Thailand: Montessori help for mothers of babies born in prison, and for elders living with dementia.Enjoy the chapter describing the author and her husband reliving the book \"Eloise in Paris.\" dictated by a four-year-old (used in the language area of some Montessori teacher training courses), and a detailed observation of a day in an authentic Montessori 3-6 class that is sure to inspire many teachers.Near the end of the book the author shares some of the solutions based on consultations with schools, and conversations with parents today, due to the unique situation of remote learning due to the pandemic. Age 0-6: Rather then recommending setting up mini-Montessori areas in the home which can cause even more stress for families, she gives suggestions on handling frustration and limited setting, welcoming the child into the daily work and activities of the family, understanding the value of protecting concentration, providing opportunities for children to be helpful and feel needed, and how to share the family ethics, morals, and even religions, in age-appropriate ways. Age 6-18: She explains the Montessori concepts of cosmic education and beginning the search for one's cosmic task, so important at this age. She discusses homeschooling, the reasons and variety of methods, and her own experience of guiding her son's self-chosen twelve years of homeschooling without materials or grades, but following interests.The last chapter, Stages of Development, the author explains how a Montessori education is completely different for birth-3, 3-6, 6-12, and 12-18. Rather then beginning with a desired standard academic curriculum, the learning is based on the needs and tendencies of human beings at different ages and planes, or stages, of development. As a result education becomes a joy. There are practical examples for parents and teachers.In the \"Resources and Books\" section, there are links to many of the projects described in the book, such as the school for the poor in Nepal. There are links to Montessori initiatives such as Educateurs sans Frontières she experienced in Thailand, Montessori for Dementia, the Montessori course for teaching adolescents, Montessori sports. There are also details about the author's seven previous books, each one presenting Montessori in very practical examples from a unique perspective.Following Montessori principles can help anyone to dig deep and discover their inborn gifts, to gain the experience and confidence to push boundaries, to develop creative problem solving abilities, resilience, and compassion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53570557509905,"sku":"CIN1879264293G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781879264298.jpg?v=1779141645"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-mayclin-stephenson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
