Abstract

In the field of modern early childhood education, cultivating young children's independence has become an important goal. With its unique educational ideas and methods, Montessori educational philosophy provides new ideas for family parent-child education. Integrating Montessori educational philosophy into family parent-child education will help the development of children's independence and meet the current social needs for the comprehensive quality training of children. This study focuses on the practical path of Montessori educational philosophy in family parent-child upbringing and its effect on the development of young children's independence. First, the core concepts of Montessori educational philosophy, family parent-child upbringing, and young child independence are defined, and the relevant theoretical foundations are elaborated. The practical path includes creating a suitable family environment, cultivating young children's ability to take care of themselves in life, guiding independent learning and establishing a good parent-child communication model. The practical effects are manifested in the improvement of young children's ability to take care of themselves, think and make decisions independently, interact with society and manage themselves. At the same time, the study also pointed out that there are challenges in practice such as difficulties in parents' cognitive transformation and limited environment creation, and put forward suggestions such as strengthening parent training and flexible environment creation. Research shows that the effective practice of Montessori educational al philosophy in family parent-child upbringing can significantly promote the development of young children's independence.
