My 2yr old DS goes to a Montessori - just 2 mornings a week. He is shy with other children and he's taking a while to truly settle there. I've never really got a handle on why Montessoris are different from any other nursery but after today am wondering if a bit regimented. When picking him up today one of the nursery staff informed me that she'd had to "have a word with him about the nursery rules". Crikey, I thought, whatever has he done? Apparently my DS had been trying to get out the outside play-area onto the surrounding common which was, I was rather sternly informed, against nursery rules and could I have a word with him as well. The voutside play bit is tiny and the wall is low - the play area is sunken- so once up on the wall they're on the common- no drop. My DS is shy of other kids so I'm not surprised he's trying to escape. Was cross though as isn't this normal for a 2 yr old? And isn't it a bit of an overreaction? I'm quite strict with him over most things but this seems silly and am worried that thisis not the environment I want him to be in if this reaction is typical. Are Montessoris like this? Am I being too sensitive or not being strict enough with him? Any feedback please???!!
