How to Give Your Toddler a Montessori Lesson

Montessori "lessons" look shockingly different for toddlers than they do for preschool-aged children. There is no need to make things complicated. In fact, the more complicated and rigid your lesson, the more likely your toddler is to run away, shout "No!", make a huge mess, or to just outright do the opposite of what you had intended for her to do!  When working with little toddlers, it pays to understand their developmental stage. In this episode, I read a letter from a frustrated and bewildered mama and offer some parenting tips to help you gain a more realistic expectation of the abilities of these indepependent, capable, and incredibly different little beings. The Montessori Magic I bring you today comes from Maria herself, a reading from The Absorbent Mind. She has such a sweet story to share about a walking toddler! Love,  Aubrey P.S.
