Nichole Holtvluwer

I love it when Montessori teachers share their secrets and today's conversation with Nichole Holtvluwer of Radicle Beginnings is just like that. Nichole talks us through why children need boundaries, and we can set these limits in a calm and clear way from a child hitting to a fussy eater. Nichole is so respectful in how she communicates with children right down to making intentional word choices and how she speaks with them to keep them curious about the world around them. She is an expert with Montessori for toddlers, but her advice is relevant for any age child.In the episode, I also give you lots of tips for setting up your home in a Montessori way and answer a listener question about sharing.For full show notes, click here: www.themontessorinotebook.com/children-need-boundariesWant even more Montessori inspiration?- website: themontessorinotebook.com/the-montessori-notebook-podcast- instagram: instagram.com/themontessorinotebook- facebook: facebook.com/themontessorinotebook- my online courses: themontessorinotebook.com/online-courses/The Montessori Notebook podcast is hosted by Simone Davies.
