Struggling children are rarely given a chance to leave the mould and experience something difference. Your children have this amazing chance offered to them! See how X is developping this interest in drawing, it is amazing isn't it?<br />Follow your heart even if that means putting all the gathered material in a box. Who knows maybe in a year or two (or less) both you and your children will want to take some of it out again :)Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786457605090337853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141474491645750310.post-37563793403913837262012-09-24T20:05:14.905-07:002012-09-24T20:05:14.905-07:00Actually, you are not the first.

I guess, as the child gets older, montessori will lose it's appeal. My son is 5, & montessori no longer excites him the same way when he was younger. I think it's great that you've come to realize that Montessori is not the only way to teaching your child. I think the worst thing to do is to insist on getting fix onto one method. The best method I say, is one that your child loves that may mean a mixture of one or two or many methods- & really, thats fine!

It is difficult to let go of things you know, it's comforting there. But like you, I have also been moving away from aspects of Montessori, particularly its academic approach and materials (whilst still being inspired by its image of the child and practical life) and more towards Reggio-inspired learning. This eclectic blend suits our family and it seems it suits yours too. We don't have to take something all or nothing. Education and life should be about what makes us passionate, what inspires and drives us to know more, to find happiness. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.

Your post reminds me of exactly why I want to educate my hold at home: I want us to be free to pick and choose what works for him. I don't think someone necessarily needs to be totally Montessori, like it is always implied. Same as Waldorf, classical, whatever. I think people can take what they like from all the different ways and apply them. So you may find alter that he really likes an element of Montessori but not another. I think that's ok.. Maybe it's just me? :)firefaeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181771056369599569noreply@blogger.com
