Montessori Positive Parenting Course: Self-Paced Whatsapp/Telegram & PDFs

Montessori Positive Parenting Course: Self-Paced Whatsapp/Telegram & PDFs

I originally set up I Can Do It Montessori in 2010 to provide Montessori parent and toddler groups to families in Enfield, UK. Over the next few years this grew to include tutoring, parenting workshops, 121 parenting support and family mentoring for hundreds of families. The Montessori Positive Parenting PDF course launched in 2020 to celebrate 10 years of I Can Do It!

In 2026, I redesigned this course to include Whatsapp/Telegram. This update means that families can receive direct feedback and support throughout the course. Lessons will be sent via email each week and you are free to work through them at whatever pace that works for you:

  • 7 modules with a huge variety of simple tips, positive strategies, child development information and fun activities.
  • The course will help you enhance your parenting skills and have a calm, happy home.
  • It is aimed at parents and carers, nannies and teachers from all backgrounds.
  • There are brief questions at the end of each lesson to help you reflect and apply what you learn to your own circumstances so you can make immediate changes.
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive 2 x PDF lessons emailed each week. You’ll have time to read them, start making changes, and ask me any questions via Whatsapp or Telegram.
