Coaching for Parents
For more than 100 years, Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision of creating “a peaceful world through the children” has inspired millions of parents to follow her philosophy in hopes of making the world a better place.
Yet, for many parents who embrace the Montessori approach, feelings of inadequacy, frustration, and even failure are not uncommon, especially when confronted with the day-to-day realities of balancing the raising of their children with the pressures of the adult world. Stress, insecurity, financial worry, discontent and anxiety seem at odds with our hopes for the happiness and success we wish for our children.
Working within the Montessori philosophical framework, Montessori Life Coach Andrea Mason understands the special needs of parents who are caught between the idealism and joys of raising their children within the Montessori philosophy and the obstacles and frustrations they confront. There are practical solutions to juggling the needs of your children with your own, while not losing your focus on building a child-centric life.

Through her own experiences as a Montessori parent, Life Coach, and consultant, Andrea has observed that – in addition to being child-focused – the Montessori philosophy provides fertile ground for adults to further their own learning and self-discovery. Family life provides a myriad of opportunities for personal and “parenting” growth, including:
- Exploration of both personal and family values and goals
- Establishing order in the home environment
- Practicing Life Balance
- Understanding the needs and tendencies of young children
- Improving communication skills
- Gaining and maintaining confidence as a parent
- Incorporating Montessori principles into family life
In response, Andrea has developed a coaching sub-specialty for Montessori parents to help create a successful and fulfilling family life incorporating Montessori philosophy and principles.
Services include one-to-one Life Coaching, group coaching, home visits, workshops, and teleclasses.
