[quote=Anonymous]This is almost like my style of nannying, the only difference is I would swaddle the baby so he can roll and make sure the mattress is against as many walls as possible. By the exposed side, place a pillow or towel but be careful of suffocation. The baby will eventually figure it out, it would have been easier if they switched him from a bassinet to mattress pad at age one, rather then at such a young age. You shouldn't need to restrain a child and I absolutely hate all bouncers, exosausers etc. all you need a rug, pillows or boppy by the toys and you teach the baby how to play. As for the 3yr old, This philosophy isn't meant to overwhelm. You just give the child more options rather choosing for them. Since she is young, you give two or three options of activities that you noticed she likes. It's all about observing their interests and building off of it. The children are also expected to be self reliant, they clean up and set up for every activity, meals etc. when this Philosophy is done correctly, the children are very independent and have a greater love of learning because they learn their way. They also understand boundaries and consequences better then most children. You should really read more about it and possibly observe a Montessori based preschool. [/quote]
