Frequently asked questions
The specific, sometimes awkward questions parents actually ask us.
My child refuses to share toys. Is that a Montessori problem?
Not sharing isn’t misbehaviour it’s normal at this stage. Montessori classrooms use “one activity at a time,” so a child can finish, not fight, before offering a turn. At home, try “You can tell them when you’re finished” instead of forcing an immediate hand-over.
What should I do when my toddler hits during a tantrum?
Calmly block the hit without punishing the feeling behind it: “I won’t let you hit. You’re really mad.” Stay close, keep your voice low, and revisit the moment once they’re calm not mid-storm, when nothing sinks in anyway.
How much independence is too much for a 3-year-old?
Offer independence in tasks with a clear, safe ceiling pouring their own water, choosing between two outfits, spreading their own toast. Save open-ended choices (bedtime, safety rules) for you. Independence within limits builds confidence without overwhelming them.
Is it okay to say no to my child, or does that go against Montessori?
Montessori isn’t permissive parenting. Freedom always comes “within limits” clear, consistent boundaries are what make independence safe to explore. Say no when it matters, explain briefly, and stay warm while you hold the line.
My child care provider isn't Montessori-trained. Does that matter?
Not necessarily. What matters most is a caregiver who respects your child’s pace, offers real choices, and speaks to them with patience. You can bring Montessori principles home even if daycare hours look different.
