Child¿s Play is an activity book filled with play ideas for parents to enjoy with their toddlers, from 12 months through to three years of age. Each game offers parents the chance to relish, encourage and assist in their child¿s key developmental stage, and all activities are based on sound techniques of early-childhood education. They are presented with guidelines and suggestions that progress in terms of difficulty, and no specialised knowledge or equipment is necessary. From encouraging your infant to explore the sense of touch and increase their coordination to performing action songs and discovering the garden or local park, Child¿s Play offers children and parents the chance to learn and play together.

"If, like some, you regret that Montessori too rarely in her writings appreciated the humanity of teachers-their creativity, their curiosity, their doubts-this book stands as the perfect complement."-Jola-Montessori.com Evocative and unique, The Tao of Montessori offers a quiet balance to the noisy demands of teaching and parenting through a special blend of encouraging verse. Award-winning Montessori teacher Catherine McTamaney revisits the eighty-one verses of Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching and relates them to the life and work of teachers, parents, and children. Originally meant to remind rather than direct and to show the way toward natural harmony in the world around and within us, Lao-tzu's verses find a new meaning through McTamaney's skillful mixture of spirituality and education. Take a moment to read a single stanza, then put it aside and muse upon its meaning. By revisiting one verse each day, you can relate its images to your life as a teacher, parent, or child. Whether you are familiar with the writings of Lao-tzu or are simply ready to explore a refreshingly contemplative perspective on children and teachers, The Tao of Montessori is a profound work of intellectual stimulation.
