Montessori specialist teaches ‘stable parenting’ techniques
2024-08-08
Henry Lo, a parenting specialist from Hong Kong, is certified as a Montessori instructor. He now holds classes and seminars to teach techniques he developed under the banner of “stable parenting.” To raise positive and confident children, Lo believes parents must first stabilize their own emotions and show love.
To show how to respond to a difficult parenting situation, Henry Lo acts like a child who likes to push boundaries. In his class, he teaches parents that to raise a positive, stable and confident child, they need to first work through their own emotions. This is what he calls “stable parenting.”

After calming and stabilizing the adult, then we can talk about parenting. If we can do that, the adult can not only moderate their own mood, but can use their composure to help stabilize an emotional child.
Originally from Hong Kong, Lo is certified as a Montessori instructor for children up to 6 years old. He got into early childhood education after going to studying in the U.S. at 18 and becoming an English teacher. He realized that young children need to be taught more than just language. Their entire personalities need to be cultivated.

Parenting coach
When I started with the Montessori method, I learned the different developmental stages and children’s needs during each one. The kinds of methods we can use to help a child develop. When a child exhibits challenging behaviors, I look at where they are in terms of development to determine what method could help them through it.
Through holding classes, parenting seminars, teacher trainings and even publishing children’s and parenting books, Lo shares what he has learned about parenting. And in the process of helping others, he’s found it to be therapeutic for himself, too.

From so many years of teaching the stable parenting method, I think what I’ve gained the most is the ability to connect more to my inner self. By understanding myself better, I can better understand children and parents. The greatest reward I’ve gotten from striving to help others has been helping myself.
Lo is a father himself and uses his methods with his own child. By passing on his parenting philosophies, he has become even more certain of his career choice.
