Overall lovely approach, a shame about the ingrained sleep training
I really enjoyed the general information in this book. I am a gentle parent and feel like these parenting styles mostly align. It has given me a lot of ideas for activities with my toddlers and different approach for play/learning. Unfortunately the sleep section was very disappointed to me. It demonstrated just how embedded sleep training is in our culture. From talking about respectful parenting in the day time I felt this wasn’t mirrored in the night parenting approach. It discussed the ‘disappearing chair’ technique without calling it that. Also refers to biological normal sleep habits negatively. I won’t be recommending this book based on that.

Very clearly explains what Montessori approach is
As a father, reading this book really helped me to understand my toddler better and enjoy them more as a human being. Toddlers are often labeled as "terrible two" and this book helped me to enjoy their company much more. It starts by explaining how toddlers think and it helped me to see their perspective better and not get annoyed. I introduced some principles from the book and it is really funny but it works. Funny because we always had loads of activities at home and she rarely played with them. Turned out that the activities and toys have to be "prepared". I "prepared" the room after reading the chapter and magic, the toddler has woken up and jumped to solve all of them one by one and didn't want to have breakfast until she solved all of them she was so focused. It was very amusing.

Great starting point
I’m aware of the theory of Montessori on an introductory level but this book goes into a lot of detail. Found it easy to understand and the NO PRESSURE approach is a god send if, like me, you get overwhelmed easily with advice coming from all different sources. The overall ethos is do what you can, we make mistakes but can repair, be kind to yourself and importantly set up steps around your home so you can’t fail in those easy to fail moments (clean nickers near the loo and house rules ok the wall to refer your children to in those distressing moments - even if they can’t read). Very good book.

First audible book
I really enjoyed listening to this book it gave great examples and tips on how to raise an independent child. They also provide a PDF file. I do consider buying the physical book because of the pictures and graphs they don’t show but it’s efficient to listen to it on audible so you have read/heard the content at least once saves time and you can always go back for reference.

Loved every page!
To raise a more independent, loved and curious toddler.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling in some aspects and is looking forward to strengthening the bond between parents and their child and understand how children act in order to handle situations. It does not matters if your child is going to a traditional school ( because I get it, Montessori schools could be expensive) because you can put into practice all this ideas in your daily life.

Good Montessori overview, but lacking in some areas
There’s a ton of good information in this book, but I think it’s lacking in a few key areas. Notably, the section on discipline is notably lacking. Ideally, a child who is independent and self-expressive can avoid many breakdowns caused by miscommunication and unmet needs, but there is maybe 2.5 minutes of content in here on how to handle a toddler who is in full meltdown mode.
This is especially glaring because I imagine a lot of parents look into the Montessori method after realizing their “more traditional” approaches aren’t working. There needs to be an additional section on how to transition a child from that environment, which involves quite a few significant changes.
