[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't work for AP parents, but I have had my fair share of Montessori style Nanny Families and I've just adapted acros the board saying "Larla/Larlo this is unavailable to you" I can't remember the last time I've said "no" to a charge. This Montessori way just seems gentler. [/quote] Montessori doesn't let you say "no"? That can't be right.[/quote] We're a Montessori family but no is certainly part of our vocabulary and in regular use. I think the teachers like to use more positively phrased corrections, like "You may look at some one else's work" when they're touching/meddling in some one else's activity. There are definitely limits in the classroom. My daughter told me they're not allowed to hug at school. Now whether that point was conveyed with a "no hugging" or a "we keep our hands to ourselves" I'd guess the latter, but the point was still made, right? [/quote]
