059: Approachable Ways to Bring Montessori Into Your Home with Agnes Olendrzynska

Agnes Olendrzynska

Agnes Olendrzynska (@montessori.mothering) is a mom of two, a positive discipline parent educator, and a Montessori enthusiast, who shares what realistic Montessori style parenting can look like.  

We delve into how to bring Montessori methods into your home day to day and how you don’t even have to have your child at a Montessori school to do all the things, all the time to get some of the benefits. This is what I like about Agnes, she has a realistic approach to Montessori ways and motherhood!

We cover so many interesting topics in this conversation including her approach to floor beds, co-sleeping, favourite activities to do with kids, her use of screen time, how she practiced potty training using elimination communication, helpful tantrum tips, and her homebirth experience.

You are going to enjoy this conversation!
