Mommy Do It!

The development of perseverance as a life-long skill starts when children are very, very little. By offering opportunities for independence and assistance only when necessary, we guide our children along this path. Child development, however, is never a linear process. Sometimes our children go through phases where they are begging for our assistance when we know that they are perfectly capable of doing the activity themselves. What is a Montessori parent to do when there are multiple cries of “Mommy do it!” or “But I can’t….”? In this episode, I read a letter from a mama who is worried that her previous use of praise, such as “Good job” and interrupting her child too often during work has led her child into feelings of incompetence. Dive in as I offer some insight on typical child behavior at different stages of life and tips for effective parenting. The Montessori Magic for today is an exploration into the classic dressing frames, a practical life activity. Come join me as we find the calm and help our children learn and grow. Love, Aubrey P.S.
