What do you think ?
Screen time for under-fives should be limited to one hour a day, parents told
New government guidance also suggests children under-two should not be watching screens alone.

Every Flower is a soul blossoming in nature... Read my tips to encourage your children (and you) to spend time outdoor
It is so much easier to spend time outside when the weather is nice!
I love the beginning of every Season. Spring is even a more wonderful time with spring flowers, birds singing and blossoms all around.
But I still have to force myself to go out. And now that my children are older, I have noticed that going out is not as natural in our daily/weekly rhythm.
So how to help your older children to enjoy outdoor time? (those ideas can be suitable for younger children too)
- choose after-school activities that are done outdoor such as forest school, football and other sports
- have a goal in mind as random exploratory walks are less interesting for children in the second plane (6+ but probably true from 4 years old)
- the goal could be a nature hunt or take your camera and encourage them to take pictures
- check the cards for 2 amazing games to play in nature
- organise the playdate in nature as older children are definitely social
- go out straight after school without coming back home, so have a picnic or snack ready to enjoy in the park
- walk or cycle back from school
- go litter picker. Since we have 2 litter picker tools, my children enjoy our daily walk more
- choose a new outdoor space to explore for the weekend. We crave novelty!
- Offer them their own vegetable plot and make them responsible for the project from a to z. Let them choose their seeds and taking care of the plot by themselves. Same for a flower patch.
- offer them outdoor practical life activities such as cleaning the car.
- follow a nature curriculum for inspiration

How much “Montessori” do you do at home?
Is Montessori only the activities on a tray? The practical life? The Montessori “materials”?
Montessori is a way of life and your child needs more than some specific branded Materials.
Montessori activities on a tray are probably the less your child does over the day. Maybe, you focus more “naturally” on everyday life like cooking, cleaning, helping around, and learning skills that promote independence!
Maybe your child is in a sensitive period to language and all day long, you talk and read books.
Or your child goes to a Montessori preschool so when he comes back home, he wants to play with his “flashy” toys or build stuff with his siblings.
Montessori is so much more than what we think is “Montessori”.
The way you respect your child, the way you observe your child, what you offer to your child is not limited to the shelf, to the branded materials, to the 3 parts cards. You can have 100% of that or none of that. You can have some fantasy, some plastic, some “I will never have that in my classroom but at home, why not” and you would still “do Montessori at home”.
Swipe left for “what is also Montessori” ;-)
