Teach your Montessori baby to communicate




In a practical, creative Montessori response to teaching thinking skills to babies and
young children, Wendy Fidler explores new research about the mechanics of thinking,
and dispels some modern myths about brain development and early thinking skills.
In the second of her practical, creative Montessori responses to encouraging brain development in babies and young children, Wendy Fidler describes ways in which babies and small children learn to communicate.

Montessori is a way of life, a philosophy about how human beings might live their lives and treat one another; it is an attitude of respect and encouragement. When babies are born they lack independence; it is the role of the adults caring for them to nurture and protect them and to help them to think, communicate and speak for themselves.
