Book: The Montessori Child

The Montessori Child
by Simone Davies & Junnifa Uzodike

A practical and inspiring guide to raising capable, confident, and curious children — from ages 3 to 12 — using the Montessori approach.

Following the global success of The Montessori Baby and The Montessori Toddler, educators and Montessori guides Simone Davies and Junnifa Uzodike return with The Montessori Child — a thoughtful, beautifully illustrated resource for parenting through the foundational years of childhood.

Rooted in respect, independence, and connection, this book helps parents understand how children between 3 and 12 learn, grow, and thrive. With real-life stories, actionable strategies, and a deep understanding of Montessori principles, it offers the tools you need to raise kind, self-motivated, and resilient children in a rapidly changing world.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Foster independence while staying connected as your child grows

• Create a home environment that supports creativity, concentration, and responsibility

• Approach discipline with compassion and consistency

• Guide your child through challenges like sibling conflict, school transitions, and screen time

• Support emotional intelligence, social development, and a lifelong love of learning

Whether you're new to Montessori or building on what you’ve already started, The Montessori Child empowers you to parent with confidence, calm, and curiosity through every stage of early childhood.
