From jumping out of moving cars to a lasagna flying off the car roof, Kimberly Morey shares the hilarious, heartfelt true stories that shaped her parenting philosophy. Blending 35+ years of Montessori wisdom with her signature Book of Rules and Bag of Tools, she shows parents how to prevent power struggles, raise confident, capable children, and create homes filled with calm, confidence, and connection. This is the book that will help you transform environments and prevent problems before they occur. Whether you're raising your first child or your fourth, From Chaos to Calm will help you trade frustration for confidence, chaos for connection, and daily survival for purposeful, joyful parenting.
What if the secret to calmer parenting isn’t controlling your child… but understanding them?
This is the parenting book you wish they had handed you at the hospital.
Parenting is messy, beautiful, exhausting—and often hilarious. If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Why is this so hard?" you're not alone.
Montessori educator, school founder, and mother of four boys Kimberly Morey shares the hilarious true stories, hard-earned lessons, and practical wisdom she gained over more than 35 years of helping children—and the families raising them.
Her greatest discovery?
Many childhood struggles can be prevented—not by changing the child, but by preparing the environment, understanding behavior, and leading with purpose.
Children are not problems to fix. They're people becoming who they were created to be.
Unlike books that focus on correcting behavior after problems arise, From Chaos to Calm combines heartfelt memoir, Montessori philosophy, and real-life experience to help you build the kind of home where many struggles never take root.
Inside you'll discover:
• Hilarious true stories that will make you laugh, reflect, and see your own family in a whole new way.
• A prevention-first approach that helps stop many struggles before they begin.
• Simple, practical ways to prepare your environment so children naturally develop confidence, cooperation, and independence.
• Kimberly's signature Book of Rules & Bag of Tricks—family-tested routines, checklists, and real-life solutions you'll use for years.
At the heart of the book is one unforgettable truth:
You don't tame the tiger. You learn to ride it.
Whether you're raising your first child or your fourth, From Chaos to Calm will help you trade frustration for confidence, chaos for connection, and daily survival for joyful, intentional parenting.
Raise capable, compassionate, confident children—and create a home where your whole family can thrive.
