The Montessori Potential: How To Foster Independence, Respect, and Joy In Every Child Paula Lillard Preschlack. This book offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children while also addressing the often-asked question, ‘How does Montessori work in practice, and why?’ By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action, and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood. • 272 pp, Softcover, first edition, 2023.
