There are many ways to present the Montessori Silence Game to children (check out Living Montessori Now’s collection of posts on the subject to see what I mean!)

Our Peace Corner

Our apartment is an exercise in creative use of space. The moment that I realized that Ella had not used her potty for several weeks (having switched to the toilet), I immediately began thinking of how I would put that small nook of hallway space to use. It struck me that it might be a...
