[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want to foster Independence, consider a Montessori program.  I think it would be especially good for an obedient people pleaser, because kids in Montessori get to choose what they "work" on.  They are not told what to do.  So she could learn to follow what she wants vs. what others want for her.

We found a small, one-class Monetessori and with a strong community and a wonderful director, and could not be happier with our choice for our 2 kids.[/quote]

ECE again here - no, I think for a child who doesn't know how to socialize with other children, you want NOT a Montessori because there is so much "independent" work being done - you want a program where kids are playing together, tumbling together, arguing over who gets to be the princess and the king, figuring it out, doing it again, building with blcoks, getting them knocked over by accident, realizing it'snot the end of the world, building again... builds social skills, resilience, how to play (give and take, standing up for yourself, etc) with other children, etc.  [/quote]
