Mar Trujillo Gallardo adapted the Montessori lifestyle for her eight-month-old girl and transformed the bedroom into a learning space.The Montessori method of education focuses on independence and views children as naturally eager for knowledge.In a video seen more than 4million times, the 29-yer-old mum shows how she implements the principles in the room including a floor bed and a play area.Mar explains that this can teach her daughter independence and it's cheaper just to get a mattress than buying a crib with security locks.She adds: "It increases mobility and she plays independently for a while before alerting us that she is awake."To ensure her daughter is playing in a safe space, Mar also places soft mats on the floor as protection.
