You’ve probably heard about the Montessori parenting approach – and it seems that now everyone is talking about starting Montessori in infancy with our babies! And so if you are expecting a baby or have a baby in your world, you’re likely wondering, “Is the Montessori approach good for my rapidly growing baby? What does it mean for their development?
