Toddlers are a misunderstood population, according to Montessori teacher and blogger Davies (The Montessori Notebook), who facilitates online workshops for raising responsible, curious children, modeled after the work of Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori (1870–1952). Montessori posited that education, not medicine, was once the answer to bettering the health of children with emotional and mental disabilities and went on to develop successful schools that have produced graduates such as Jeff Bezos and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Davies lays out the basic principles of Montessori child-centered learning, in which students work at their own pace within a prepared environment the use of hands-on concrete materials. Alongside photographs and Imai’s charming illustrations are ideas for setting up a learning-friendly environment and addressing self-handle adults in addition to daily handle toddlers.
