I like how you were able to weigh both AP and Montessori, while using your observations of your child to best suit his needs without giving up all of your needs! I can relate, in a different way, I (a Montessori 3-6 and 6-9 trained teacher) have a child with Down syndrome and it's all about taking little steps, making adjustments along the way, while not sacrificing too much of myself so that there are feelings of resentment... and I could go on and on!

Follow your gut, mama, sometimes just a little reassurance goes a really long way. <br /><br />I am always glad to hear from other AP Montessori parents (and teachers!). I do have a good Montessori quote on attachment, or had one but now I've lost it. If I find it again I'll let you know!

I am a trained Montessori teacher, but as I have become a mother, I have deeply embraced both attachment parenting and Montessori. I truly believed they coexist well and wrote a blog post about it (I get very frustrated when Montessorians talk about weaning at 6 months as the start of "independence" when Dr. Montessori never said that and it actually goes against medical advice (and she was a doctor!)). But, when I came across this same quote trying to develop materials for a Parent Education Coffee Session on separation anxiety, I was quite thrown aback. I have the same child as you, he's very sensitive but also very independent in his own right. But he's have the same trouble with separation. I may use some of your techniques (since I am in the building already!) if his anxiety increases and the transition does not become easier. Thanks so much for your thoughts. I am on a mission now to find quotes of hers that contradict this one quote!Anjali Kochhar Lipmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15520183751229258496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218215652328409330.post-21644391664743549942012-09-18T03:57:21.011-05:002012-09-18T03:57:21.011-05:00My son will be on preschool next year and I'm ...My son will be on preschool next year and I'm really worried about the problems we'll both encounter. As an introduction, what I do now is spend time talking with him what to expect - the classroom, the teacher, the other kids and the activities that they will enjoy. <br /><a href="http://www.fridayschildmontessori.com/" rel="nofollow"> gold coast montessori</a><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
