[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find certain concepts of Montessori good (the real life experience stuff like sweeping and ironing), and other parts weird (like the prohibition of imaginative play). Wasn’t something I considered for my kids. I believe imagination and creativity is incredibly important for the growth of a child.[/quote] I agree with this. We were very interested in it until we realized that the way the children must use the materials to do their "work" is very rigid. Our child rarely used any toys the way they were intended, and we foresaw that aspect being a disaster. She's still a super creative kid. I think it's just not a good fit for some kids.[/quote]
