I AM Montessori

There are moments as parents when we look at our child and think:

I don’t understand what’s happening.
Why is this so hard?
What am I doing wrong?

The behaviour feels big.
The reactions feel intense.
And nothing you try seems to work the way it’s “supposed” to.

You read the advice.
You try to stay calm.
You tell yourself to be patient.

And then one moment tips you over —
and suddenly you’re raising your voice, feeling flooded, or fighting back tears.

Afterwards comes the guilt.

The replaying.
The wondering if you’re damaging them.
The fear that you should be able to handle this better by now.

Please know this:

When children’s behaviour feels confusing or overwhelming, it’s not a sign that you’re failing.

Behaviour is communication — especially when children don’t yet have the words, regulation, or skills to tell us what they need.

What looks like defiance is often distress.
What looks like overreaction is often overwhelm.
What looks like “attention-seeking” is often a bid for safety and connection.

And when we don’t understand what’s underneath, our own nervous systems react.

We go into problem-solving mode.
Or control mode.
Or shutdown.

Not because we don’t love our children —
but because we’re overwhelmed too.

Parenting was never meant to be done from a place of constant self-control.

It was meant to be done with support, understanding, and space to regulate — for both children and adults.

If you’ve ever felt lost in your child’s behaviour…
If you’ve ever blamed yourself or felt ashamed of your reactions…
If you’ve ever wondered why staying calm feels impossible some days…

You are not alone.

And you are not broken.

Understanding behaviour starts with understanding nervous systems — theirs and yours.

When we shift from “How do I stop this behaviour?”
to “What is my child telling me right now?”

Everything changes.

At I AM Education, we believe behaviour is not something to be fixed —
it’s something to be understood.

And parents deserve that understanding too.

AN OPEN LETTER TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS

Today is Early Educators Day and its just one day of acknowledgement for the hundreds of days a year you dedicate to raising the next generation.

As a mother, as an employer, and as a friend I want you all to know that I see you.

I see the importance of the work you do. I see the moments where you have to hold your breath when you change a nappy, and when you have to follow a multi-step process to wipe a nose. I just wish society saw more than this.

I see the moments you have to share your lap with three children at the same time and meet all of their different needs at the same time. I see you juggle the expectations of parents, your team and of your boss whilst trying to remind yourself why you do this work day in day out.

I see the little eyes who look at you for comfort when they are sad, and who hold you tighter when they are scared or when you are reassuring them that their loved ones will be back to get them.

I see how you make them laugh and how they make you smile. How you show them everything you know and create opportunities for them to discover life's secrets and then when they run to you to teach you what you already know - you pretend its the first time you've ever heard it!

I see the struggle you have to make sure you have enough energy and love to go home to your own family and children. And I see the days where you realise you are living your purpose - you are doing what you are meant to and you love every moment.

Keep doing what you are doing. Keep changing the world - one day at a time. One family at a time. One moment at a time.

One day soon the whole of society will realise - you can change the world with how you change a nappy.

Thank you for the impact you have on humanity. Thank you for what you do.

If you are a parent/ leader/ coach/ educator/ speech or occupational therapist / personal trainer / self-employed - this training is for you!

Imagine being able to make sense of language patterns, to 'read between the lines', to not get scammed/f'd over when being sold to...and when you are selling yourself.

Imagine being able to ask better questions, to understand Values Levels and how it can transform your life plus have your own 'Mary Poppins bag' of resources/processes and techniques that can help you lead people (and yourself) in a more engaging, simpler way that benefits everyone.

With online pre-learning modules PLUS 4 EPIC DAYS in person - this is incredible value which includes food and accomodation.

Join me for this life changing training and receive Certification as a Practitioner and Coach of NLP (Neuro-Linguistics Programming).

Your words create your reality - learn how to have more impact with how you communicate!

If I could do anything else in the world would I? Honestly - no. Right now I feel the most aligned in my life than I ever have. The creation and ideation that started 12 years ago and my WHY has progressed and grown in unexpected ways and exactly the way its meant to be.

Coaching people - actually coaching humans for the person they want to be/become has had ripple effects on others more than I could have imagined.

I AM Montessori Life By Eight and I AM Education are all part of the bigger vision - even the art I create is.

I love humanity. I love all parts of the rollercoaster ride - even in the darkest scariest moments - I embrace. I face the darkness. I run towards the storm rather than away. It has been humbling, it has been powerful and I am grateful for the experiences.

Where there is light - there is dark. Without the hardest days, we cannot know the extraordinary ones.

I promise that whatever is happening for you at the moment - there is a way towards the light. And that faith and hope and grit and resilience - its there within you. Sometimes we just need to ask for help.

If you cannot see that light right now - reach out to someone you trust, reach out to me if you need - when we ask for help you may be surprised how many people are willing to give you their light so you can find yours again.

You will not be given anything you cannot handle. The rebuild can feel impossible. And yet - how many times have we rebuilt our world? Humanity is designed to build. We are not designed to do it on our own x

If you need help to find your light - please know I am here for you. And my batteries are charged and my torch is ready. Youve got this x
