74) Nurturing Independence: Simone Davies on Parenting the Montessori Way

In this gentle and grounding episode of Dam Parenting, hosts Maren and Eva are joined by international Montessori educator and author Simone Davies to explore the transformative power of slowing down in parenting.


Together, they dive into the beauty of letting children move at their own pace—turning simple everyday activities like walking down the street or pouring a glass of water into joyful, curiosity-led learning. Simone shares practical Montessori parenting tips to help you create a calmer, more respectful home environment—without pressure or perfection.


From setting up child-friendly spaces to balancing freedom with boundaries, Simone explains how small shifts in rhythm, patience, and presence can help parents raise confident, independent children. She also reminds us that Montessori is a mindset, not a product—and that parents are learning too.


If you're feeling overwhelmed by hustle-culture parenting and crave more mindful connection in your home, this episode will give you the tools and confidence to slow down, observe, and trust the process.


What You’ll Learn:

  • How to integrate Montessori principles into daily routines

  • Why slowing down fosters independence, curiosity, and confidence

  • Practical tips for setting up Montessori-friendly home environments

  • How to balance freedom and structure in parenting

  • Why modeling calm is one of the most powerful things we can do

  • Tools for building deeper, more connected family moments

  • The importance of curiosity—for kids and parents

  • How to stop rushing and start savoring your child's learning journey
