Montessori and Normalization.
Normalization consists of a child's ability to concentrate and work freely in the Montessori environment, using the Montessori materials to fully engage their interests, and exercising self-discipline and peace. ♥️♥️♥️

Montessori Philosophy: Praise vs. Encouragement As teachers, we try not to use too much praise in the Montessori classroom, but instead use encouragement to support and uplift our bright young students.

During our days together I have spontaneously told short, relatable stories to the children about my own children and my own childhood. The children have enjoyed these real stories because it can help them relate to their own real life experiences of joy, of problem solving, of difficult feelings and how kindness and communication are important human qualities.
Today at snack I was spontaneously asked “MacKinnon tell us a story of when you were little like us”; I was thrilled to oblige by sharing a story of my favourite shoes and coat and a day that my daddy took photos of my mommy and me.
And we finished our snack together as they told me I looked like I was the same age as Theo, how when we are 2 we then turn 3, and how it looks cold outside today just like in the photo.

Please remember to slow down and have these beautiful conversations with children, it is truly special for both you and the child.♥️

Empathy, Confidence, Self Discipline, Respect for self, others and the environment and a lifelong love of learning with inner peace are all planted and nurtured during these early years.
When the adult hears “I can do it myself” please allow them to try, safely. Be conscious of the behaviour you are modelling…they are learning♥️ They are capable♥️They have so much to teach us that we often forget as adults♥️.
Find peace and calm in the observation ♥️ they will show you.

Some days are perfect♥️
Today a little one was so full of emotions. Only his own mommy’s love and embrace could calm this sweet child. It was hard for his empathetic young friends to understand; it was hard for me too. His feelings were so big, so real, so overwhelming for him.
We all tried to offer comfort but in the end only mommy would do.
The children did not know what to do with their own feelings once he went home, they began to run and and yell.
I gently called to them to sit with me and I was honest with them about my feelings. I felt helpless to offer comfort, I feel so sad that I wasn’t able to offer what he needed, I felt anxious. One little one asked, what is anxious? I explained and he replied oh yes, this is exactly what I felt too. And from there a short conversation started about how we felt and how talking about it made us feel better. And then, we all went back to work.
Never underestimate the vital importance of Emotional Intelligence and take the time to be honest in our own feelings with children. They truly appreciate it and it can help them more than you might think.
