In the notes below, Rohina shares the grateful and surprised observations from some parents as they reflected on the positive effects the Montessori environment had on their child: 

These are some feedback from parents of children about using the Montessori method, stories of independence, social connections, and confidence:

* Kawther’s mother praised the progress he had made, especially his ability to participate in household chores. She attributed this progress to the skills he had learned in kindergarten, such as eating properly, dressing independently, and tying his shoelaces.

* The mother of Maz Mel was worried. She expressed herself initially about Maz Mel’s lack of friends, but noted significant changes over time. She said that Maz Mel has become fluent in Persian, which allows him to easily communicate with other children and form friendships with others. Muzamel’s mother was amazed and proud of her son’s ability to learn Persian, which she considered a challenging language. She was very happy that her son was able to learn two languages, Persian and Pushto.

* Roman’s parents said that Roman has been able to establish a positive daily routine in his life despite his young age. For example: he wakes up on time to go to kindergarten and expresses happiness after returning home. They said that he enthusiastically recounts his daily activities to his mother, which shows his positive attitude towards kindergarten.

* Imran was a five-year-old child who at first could not even identify himself by his own name. This was a reflection of his limited experience as a child, possibly due to his parents’ lack of time to interact with him. Imran’s mother expressed her happiness at his positive social integration in the kindergarten environment. She said that Imran was able to make friends and develop his communication skills in kindergarten.

* Elnaz’s mother expressed her happiness at the positive transformation she has seen in her daughter. She said that Elnaz used to be apathetic and withdrawn, but now she is happy and friendly. She attributes this positive change to the kindergarten environment. And the implementation of the Montessori method was attributed.

* The mother of Mozhdeh emphasized establishing positive social connections with other children. She stated that Mozhdeh resisted interacting with peers and even displayed aggressive behaviors such as hitting other children when they tried to communicate with her. However, over time, Mozhdeh’s mother expressed satisfaction with the significant positive changes she observed in Mozhdeh’s social behavior. She said that Mozhdeh was able to connect with other children, form friendships, and participate in social interactions easily.
