004: Montessori and 7-7-7 Parenting - Separating Fact from Fiction (with Annie Baker-Atwood)
In this episode of Thriving Mummas, I sit down with Annie Baker Atwood – Reiki Master and a retired kindergarten teacher – to explore the distinctions between the trending 7-7-7 parenting method and Montessori principles.
We discuss how misinformation spreads, especially when buzzwords like “Montessori” get tossed around, and explore what the Montessori philosophy really stands for. Annie brings her years of experience in early childhood education to the table, offering thoughtful insights on child development, the importance of trusting your instincts as a parent as well as adapting methods to fit individual children's needs, and why doing your own research matters more than ever.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the parenting advice out there, this episode is here to help you feel grounded, informed, and empowered to choose what truly works for your family.
