The latest title in the flagship Montessori à la maison series, this guide is the culmination in the educational roadmap developed by Nathalie Petit encompassing a child’s first years to their teenage years. To avoid any temptation to disengage, the book suggests simple and cost-free tools for helping teenagers to become independent while respecting the limits that they are learning to set. The aim is to create, step by step, a safe and trusting environment conducive to the flowering of their personalities and creativity.
