Montessori Parent

Coronavirus Survival Guide

10 contributing writers with over 200 years of collective experience as trained Montessori educators, parents, and school leaders, deliver a path of wisdom to optimally support you and your children from birth through adolescence, so you can thrive during this period of extended school closures.  

After reading the Montessori Parent Coronavirus Survival Guide you’ll know how to:

  • Talk to your children about the coronavirus pandemic
  • Balance your needs as an adult with the needs of your children
  • Manage sibling conflicts
  • Meet the needs of children of differing ages with a clear, consistent approach geared to their development and interests
  • Feel confident your expectations of and for your child are developmentally appropriate
  • Establish and maintain new routines without stress
  • Create age- and interest-appropriate spaces in your family home without having to buy a thing! 
  • Offer a variety of easy-to-implement activities for every age
  • Talk with your child to reduce their resistance and gain their cooperation 

Most importantly, you will have the tools and inspiration to build and maintain your connection with your child during this unprecedented time in their lives.

Note: This book is not a homeschool curriculum and it is not available as a PDF.

Due to the unusual circumstances we all find ourselves in, we have tried our best to complete this book and get it into your hands as swiftly as possible.  It inevitably contains some mistakes we didn't catch during the whirlwind writing and editing process.  We will continue to improve this book over the coming weeks, but for now, we hope you will understand why we decided to adopt the motto that "done is better than perfect"!
