Does Montessori help children tolerate correction and criticism?

[Anonymous]

When picking a preschool for DD I bristled at the “right way”/ “wrong way” vibe of Montessori and put her in a much more nurturing, imagination-friendly program. She is now in K and confident, creative, reading well and seems fine with math. But…she is very upset when corrected at all. Not defiant but hurt and insecure. I wonder if Montessori would have allowed her to better metabolize criticism? Just curious what others think

My kids are in Montessori but I don’t think this matters for that at all. There are things you can do as a parent to help her build resilience, though.

That sounds like personality trait, not a daycare issue. Do you correct at home?

I have said it before, and I will say it again…. Every Montessori school, and every Montessori teacher is different…. The answer to your question is dependent on the school snd teacher. All Montessori schools snd teachers are different.

Not sure about Montessori, but in terms of parenting - my DH was raised that way (there's a "right way" to load the dishwasher, paint a wall, clean a room, etc. in his parents' house) and he is highly resilient and takes criticism well.
