Parent Consultations 1:1
We talk about your child, for your child.
We talk about your child, for them. We talk about that moment that makes your head explode and about that behavior that stopped you in your tracks. We don't talk so I can give you a standard recipe, we work together to find a way to answer the situation you are in, one that suits your child and your family values.
you find it hard to set limits and to follow through with them.
you want to apply Montessori at home (beyond materials and activities), but don't know where to start.
you don't know how to handle a tantrum.
a new sibling joined the family and your first child is unrecognizible.
you find it hard to set up a helpful routine.
mornings are tough and you want to make them easier.
you just started kindergarten or you changed houses or you want to be prepared for these changes.
“It was great working with you, we felt as if we were lifetime friends, that was how cool the conversation went! After the discussions with you, I realised I have to be more understanding. I realised that many of her reactions were caused by a major change in her life: starting daycare 😅. After meeting you, we changed the sleep routine, we have more 1:1 moments, we even set up a morning routine when she goes to daycare. I think we've made progress after meeting you and we get along better. Thank you for your help!”
“This spring's campaign I was the lucky winner of a consultation with Simona, from My Montessori Shelf. Since I've just had the meeting, where we discussed a ton of topics that were on my mind regarding our relationship with our daughter, I had to write and tell you that Simona is just wonderful. If like me, you ever feel that maybe sometimes you can't communicate or interact with your kid the way you wanted to, that maybe you can't connect during hard times or maybe you want to better understand situations by talking to someone objective, specialized in child education, who can offer a new perspective or new ideas, Simona is the right person. To me this was the best auction idea, since I don't believe there is anything more useful to a parent, than a person to talk to and to guide them on how to improve the relationship with their child, when they feel that they can't be the best parent version they imagined. ”
“First of all, I think you're a great person and you send out a particular warmth. Therefore, the conversation we had was a very pleasant one. I found out that this mother-child connection isn't just a myth, like I thought, I understood that many of the child's emotions are connected to the mother's. I started working more with me and understanding my emotions better. I am a bit more at peace and therefore, I. is also. She even started sleeping in preschool😂. ”
“I won a consultation at a giveaway and I recommend this to any parent. Most of us have already participated to many parenting workshops on general themes, in which you don't get to ask your own questions and if you do, you get a general response. The talk with Simona focused on the child and the family,and the advice I got was carefully chosen to fit my child and my family, who are unique. Even if our kid goes to a traditional kindergarten (not a Montessori one) the Montessori advice and principles can make room in our family's day to day life and it's great to see the progress you can make by applying them. Thank you, Simona, I'm sure we'll talk again!”
