Hi, I’m Carole Debbane
Maybe you're looking to create a peaceful home environment. Maybe you're seeking ways to nurture your child’s independence. Or maybe you just want to share the joy of Montessori principles with your family. Whatever your goal, the way you prepare can make all the difference.
But before your child arrives, preparation is key. Aligning with your partner and learning about your child’s development early is one of the most important steps you can take. Once your little one is here, time becomes scarce, and setting a strong foundation now will help you both feel confident and ready for the journey ahead.
A crucial part of this preparation is letting go of your own childhood experiences or traumas that you don’t want to pass on to your children. Taking time to heal and reflect now allows you to parent with greater intention and clarity, ensuring you can nurture your child without carrying the weight of your past.
You don’t need to worry about being the "perfect" parent—just focus on being yourself. There are countless parenting styles, but your approach, rooted in Montessori principles, is what will make your journey unique. If the strategies don’t feel right for your family, that’s a good sign it’s time to adjust and find what works best for you.
becoming a parent
is love enough?
AND THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO
It all begins with the most natural act… sometimes out of love sometimes not but let’s not digress.
The thing is we have it backwards.
Becoming a parent is not about doing its about being. And when we talk about being it is something that goes much deeper than what we do, it infuses our whole being and encompasses our thoughts, our emotions and our actions because that is what becoming a parent does to us. It changes us and our lives to the core like nothing else in this life and we expect we will do just fine without any preparation… After all we turned out ok and our parents most likely did not do any preparation.
Without love it won’t work but love on its own is not enough.
Most people become parents when they give birth or when they adopt. It’s a little simplistic for us humans dont you think. It is as though we are not much more evolved than an animal who doesn’t put any ‘thought’ into being a parent to their offspring and for cause, they don’t need to because nature caters for that in a beautiful and perfect way. They dont think. They just do what they need to do and it works for them. Not so much for us humans in the developed world.
Most parents will wing it, learn on the job, make a few mistakes with the first one, less with the second.
We believe that this human that you are bringing into the world deserves more, deserves parents that have developed awareness, that have healed their past (or started the healing), that have learned what their child will need and that are informed how their environment can help and support them.
Because they matter
Because you will enjoy parenting so much more and feel a sense of peace and serenity rather than anxiety and worry…
Because your child and your family is worth it.
Welcome to parent preparation!
