✨Montessori Moment✨
Does your young child ask to hear the same story, want to pull everything out of a drawer just to put it back, Velcro and unVelcro a strap repeatedly?
“Repetition is not stagnation. It is evidence that deep, important work is underway. This is why Montessori places emphasis on uninterrupted work cycles. When children are allowed to repeat without interruption, distraction, or pressure to move on, concentration deepens. And when concentration deepens, learning becomes embodied rather than superficial.” (Montessori Foundation “Again & Again” article excerpt).
Our Toddler (18month-3year old) and Primary program environments are prepared to support concentration, coordination, order and independence through repetition.
“Mastery is not about speed or novelty.” It is the integration of a repeated skill.
Let them do the same puzzle 20 times before purchasing a new one. Let them build with the same material a hundred different open ended ways. Listen to that same song until they are singing along and and ask for something else (yes, we have found the Jewel version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which makes this a bit kinder on the adult😅).
