<strong>Footprints</strong> Parent’s View "Montessori".....This word came to my life when I was about 20 years of age. My uncle and aunt were bringing up their infant in a Montessori way. The then-6 month old was given a choice. They waited for a response and MOST important part was that choice was respected. I used to be super amused with that whole scene. Like “you want to read this book or that book?” “Do you want to eat this banana or that banana?” There were quiet periods of work and play with the baby. Lots of books were read for the infant. Lots of water play. I, her much older cousin was the wild and noisy person in her life. Cut to the year 2001, my aunt was pursuing a Montessori course. What hit me hard there is that the amount of writing and reading she did for the course as assignments and the exams was WAY MORE than what I did in my school, college and endless tuitions put together. I made a mental note to myself: This course is not for you. So never do the course. The now-turned toddler was thriving in a healthy environment. She was folding clothes, mopping the floor, washing clothes, washing dishes, washing vehicles, watering plants, flipping through pages of books, reading. Every toddler does it. Except here, she was never a hindrance to the adults. She was very much part of the house as a respectful member. The things around her height were childfriendly. The adult-only-friendly items were stashed away into oblivion. THIS experience will stay with me for life. My first visit to Anweshana was sometime in 2002-2003. My preprimary aged cousin was put in Anweshana almost right next door. I was visiting them at that time. I had volunteered to drop her off at her school out of excitement. That day, she was crying loudly that she did not want to change her clothes to go to school (she was in her sleepwear). The parents packed a new set of clothes for her and asked me to just tell the adult about it. That was my first shock. I had NO IDEA how this was going to work since the only “schooling” I know was the strict one where by now the child would have been hit and the clothes changed forcefully. Reluctantly I took the crying child with a packed set of clothes and set off. When I reached Anweshana campus, I thought it was a park. Lot of trees, no-frills classroom and everything very school-unlikely...The child stopped crying as soon as she stepped into the campus. The adult was standing at the entrance (It was Jayashree mam). She said a Namasthe. And the superembarrassed me meekly told her she did not want to change her clothes from her sleepwear. She turned to the child, made an eye contact and respectfully asked "Will you please change your old clothes?" The child immediately turned to me for the change and then went into her environment and started her work as though the tsunami before never happened. The Montessori adult and the child were very calm. The other “adult” (me) could not make head or tail of that situation. That day another switch happened in my life. A child is treated like a little and real person. I decided that day that when I have my own child, she would definitely be put in a Montessori house.Fast-forward 15 years later, my daughter Swathi joined Anweshana. Life came to a full circle. It has been 2.5 years now and we are happy parents. How is the Montessori Method of education helping my child? How we as parents support Montessori at home? Well... The adults in her environment have had a very positive impact in her. She cried every single day until she was 3.5 years of age inside her environment. Now it is fuss-free. We ensure that we her parents, and the Montessori adults in her environment are on the same page and consistent with her about her. She gets good peaceful sleep on all days. We don't need to wake her up in the mornings. We do follow Montessori Philosophy at home for most part and that itself has had a huge positive impact in our life as a family. - Parvathi Subramaniam, Parent of Swathi To stimulate life, leaving it free, however, to unfold itself, that is the first duty of the educator - Dr Maria Montessori
