Why Montessori Is Bad – The Pros and Cons In Preschools

In searching for preschools, Montessori is inevitably one of the first options parents consider. While several studies have shown positive outcomes in preschoolers who have received Montessori education, there are still criticisms and doubts. Let’s review the main pros and cons of the Montessori philosophy.

Is Montessori good

Montessori education is good for young children. This self-directed learning style allows them to gain a sense of independence and self-confidence quickly. However, it is not clear whether this learning method for students is better than regular schools.

Across the country, the spread of standardized testing has caused teachers to feel pressured to “teach to the test” so that students will learn mandated subjects. Montessori education provides the antidote needed for this negative trend. 

Is Montessori bad

The Montessori method has some drawbacks including the lack of consistent quality implementation, difficulty in transitioning to higher education, and high tuition. However, the Montessori method itself is not bad as this development-focused education fosters independence and a love for learning in children.

Let’s first understand what this education approach is. With that in mind, we can examine some of the common disadvantages of Montessori school and what you should do if you choose to enroll your child in a Montessori program.

What is the Montessori method?

The Montessori method was implemented by Italian physician Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907​. This method (also called “scientific education” by the doctor), is based on the belief that children learn best when they are actively involved in the environment and may choose what to learn according to their own needs^​1​.

Montessori classrooms are divided into multi-age classes with a difference of fewer than three years between the students. This arrangement provides different periods of education for children starting from birth  – birth to age 3, age 3 to 6, etc. Children at school are free to choose among a special set of educational materials to work on.

Teachers in the Montessori classroom guide and help students individually. They may show how to do some activities, but they do not conduct adult-directed lessons. The actual learning happens when the child is figuring out how to complete project tasks.

Children are given long time blocks to complete the activities and they can move at their own pace. Also unique to this educational process is its absence of grades, homework, and tests.

The pros of the Montessori method

Here are the advantages of learning the Montessori way.

Self-paced learning builds confidence and promotes independence

Skills development in children varies from child to child. Montessori students learn at their own pace and pursue what they are interested in. Children have free access to activities and they are allowed to explore without boundaries. Providing opportunities for students to figure things out on their own can foster independence and self-confidence in them.

Montessori preschool is a system of education that is focused on the idea of fostering independence, competence, and confidence in children. 

Hands-on learning through an absorbent mind

Montessori believed young children had absorbent minds. They learn differently from older children by taking in everything in the environment. They also gain basic learning concepts through hands-on learning. The activities help young children develop fine motor skills, visual-spatial awareness and skills, and eye-hand coordination^​2​.

Group learning can teach kids communication skills

Learning in mix-age groups allows older children to guide younger ones when they struggle, enhancing their communication skills. Younger children also benefit as they learn faster from watching their older peers.

Support special needs

Montessori’s “follow the child” philosophy allows for children to receive individualized early childhood education and achieve their unique potential. This approach to education was originally derived from her psychiatric clinic work with disabled children who had special needs. 

Dr. Montessori believed that these children’s challenges were because of the deficiencies in their interaction with the environment, as opposed to the actual medical problems. Learning materials were intended to teach children to master the skills of interacting with the environment, regardless of their needs^​3​.

Nurture self-motivation and love for learning

Students view learning as an enjoyable lifelong process, instead of a chore they want to get rid of. They develop intrinsic self-motivation to learn. This love for learning becomes a lifelong benefit to children.

The cons of the Montessori method

Here are the most common criticisms of this learning model.

Inconsistent research results

Despite several studies boasting of the superior outcomes of this educational model, the results cannot be consistently replicated.

Some studies found that students who were educated under Montessori had better outcomes than students who were educated in traditional schools. However, other studies found that this type of education produced the same, or even worse, outcomes.

Because of the inconsistency, no reliable conclusion can be drawn regarding the efficacy of this learning model^​4​.

Inconsistent implementation

One criticism of Montessori schools is that not all schools follow exactly the educational methods developed by Dr. Montessori. Although most schools adopt the basic program, many also adapt it to their local needs. Common adaptations are shorter work periods, special classes, extra activities, supplementary learning materials, grades, and homework.

Some researchers have noticed that implementation fidelity of the Montessori method is associated with the different outcomes in children^​5​.

There are many small adaptations made in today’s Montessori schools, but Dr. Montetessori explained extensively in her book why she chose certain details. Those small changes may or may not have made a difference in the research results.

Because the Montessori name is not trademarked, almost any school can claim to be practicing it. It is hard for families to evaluate if the Montessori schools they are considering are adhering to the original standards or not. The quality of the teacher training is also difficult to evaluate.

Independence over collaboration

The Montessori method emphasizes individualized learning. It values independence and self-sufficiency. Even though some work is performed in small groups, teamwork is not commonly encouraged. Students lack opportunities to learn how to collaborate with others, which is an important skill in real life. These students may be less prepared for life outside of school.

Conformity over creativity

In preschools, Montessori materials are designed so that they are self-corrective, but it is not a creative activity. When children use it the wrong way, feedback is built into the activity tools and they can correct themselves. Teachers also show the “correct way” to conduct activities to children so they will know how to do it “the right way.”

However, the corollary is that if the child does not use the tool exactly the way it is intended, they won’t be able to proceed, even if there could be other, more creative ways to do so.

When there is only one way to complete a task, it is called a convergent activity. Children who participate more in convergent activities are found to be less creative compared to those who do more divergent activities, activities that allow open-ended creative results^​6​.

Despite this association, studies that directly compare the creativity of Montessori students showed inconsistent results. Once again, it is unclear whether this type of activity positively or negatively affects children.

Although some studies show that Montessori kids have better social skills in terms of problem-solving, no studies have evaluated their emotional regulation.

We learn emotional skills through experiencing stress in daily life and then learning to overcome it. The lack of free play means there are fewer opportunities for emotional learning.

Transition to higher education

Currently, there are no high schools or universities that teach based on this theory. Students who have been used to independent learning, open-ended structure, and lack of concrete lessons will be surprised to find that they will have rigid classroom structure, inflexible timetables, deadlines, and homework assignments in these higher education environments.

Accessibility

Even though the Montessori way of teaching originally came from classrooms in low-income areas in Rome, nowadays, most Montessori schools in the US are private schools that have a hefty price tag associated with enrollment. They are also more likely to be in areas with high-income families, making it disproportionately difficult for low-income families to enroll.

Final thoughts

In today’s Montessori schools, most of them do not adhere entirely to the original guidelines created by Dr. Montessori.

It doesn’t mean that the changes are bad, however, it does mean that what you experience in one school or program may look very different from another, or from what is described here.

The only way to know the “real” Montessori method is to read the book Dr. Montessori wrote, The Montessori Method.

Choosing a good preschool ultimately boils down to the quality of the teachers. So whether a Montessori school is worth it depends a lot on the teachers. Here’s a guide to finding the best preschool for your child.

The Miseducation of Maria Montessori

When my daughter was little, I became fixated on a schoolhouse a few blocks from our apartment—a Tudor-style storybook cottage, with red trim and a brick chimney and a playground all of wood. Its first-floor windows were concealed by tall bushes of a deep impossible green, and everything that a childhood should be was waiting for my daughter behind them, or so I believed. When I went inside, my expectations were met. The children, aged two to six, were serious and serene, occasionally speaking to each other in low, considerate tones. They stacked blocks, strung beads, and arranged letter boards, and of course I had seen these kinds of blocks and beads and boards before, but never these specific, exquisite renderings of them. When it was time for “walking on the line”—a morning custom in which the children followed a line of tape on the floor, around and around, silent and judiciously spaced—I felt overcome by a sense of dazed compliance.

This was our local Montessori school, and I had convinced myself that, with a bit of scrimping and bootstrapping, I could somehow find the money to send my daughter there. I scheduled her required interview; afterward, the director told me, “Oh, she’s a dream,” and in that moment I would have signed a Sea Org contract in exchange for a year of my kid’s enrollment. But when I reviewed the numbers, the following weekend, I concluded that I could pay the tuition only if I went into credit-card debt—and, really, if that qualifies as being able to “afford” something, what can’t you afford? I withdrew her application, and, to self-soothe, I bought a Montessori-ish hundred-piece counting board for her off Amazon. (She barely touched it, and I gave it away after her toddler brother expressed an interest in eating the numbers.)

For the Montessori-curious parent on a budget, there is consolation in the wide and lasting influence of the movement’s founder, Maria Montessori, the Italian physician and educator whose ideas and innovations are ubiquitous even in the preschools that do not bear her name. The eschewing of individual desks in favor of mats and child-size tables, the primacy of hands-on learning, daily observances such as “circle time” (when children sit cross-legged on a rug to share news and participate in group lessons) and “choice time” (when children busy themselves at various classroom “centers” for art, music, tower-building, and so on)—all of these elements of early-childhood education are indebted to Montessori’s philosophy.

At the turn of the twentieth century, it was revolutionary to think that a child’s education could be child-centered—shaped according to his or her actual brain and body. Montessori and her many disciples made this common sense. What’s more, they believed something that still seems counterintuitive today: that children are, in their essence, methodical, self-directed beings with a strong work ethic, perfectly capable of deep concentration, and that their tendency toward inattention and disruption can be a reasonable response to disharmonious surroundings. As Cristina De Stefano writes in “The Child Is the Teacher” (Other Press), a new biography of Montessori, “Children, placed in the right environment, provided with the right materials, soon stop being agitated and noisy and are transformed into quiet creatures, calm, happy to work.”

This most orderly and tranquil of educational philosophies had its beginnings in the most grim and chaotic of circumstances. In 1897, Montessori, one of the first women in Italy to earn a medical degree, had recently graduated from the University of Rome and was volunteering at the school’s psychiatric clinic, where her responsibilities entailed visits to the city’s ghastly insane asylums. At the time, mental illness was widely viewed by Catholics as a form of divine retribution, but Montessori became attached to the children who lived in the asylums, many of whom had been committed owing to disabilities, although others simply suffered from malnutrition or neglect. Her interest in the children led her to the writings of the special-education pioneer Édouard Séguin, who employed balls, blocks, beads, buttons, and everyday tools in his work with asylum children in Paris, and of Friedrich Froebel, the German educator who originated the concept of kindergarten and gave his name to the toys known as “Froebel gifts”: balls of yarn, wooden spheres and cylinders. Séguin and Froebel understood that children’s desire to touch and manipulate everything around them, easily mistaken as behavior to be managed, might be better seen as self-education.

In 1900, at the age of twenty-nine, Montessori became the co-director of the Orthophrenic School, in Rome, the nation’s first training institute for special-education teachers. The trainees worked with students who were selected from the asylums or who had been unable to keep up at state schools. For two years, Montessori taught students and teachers for upward of eleven hours a day, then worked late into the night reading, writing, and sketching plans for her own Froebel-inspired “gifts.” Some of her students, amazingly, went on to pass the same primary-school exams as their mainstream peers, although Montessori shrugged off the results—the strong performance of her “little idiots,” as she called them, was more an indictment of the state-school system than it was an endorsement of her pedagogy, she said.

The Orthophrenic School was also a key plot point in a cascading personal melodrama: Montessori had fallen in love with her co-director, Giuseppe Montesano, and given birth in secret to their son. The child was whisked off to a wet nurse in the countryside; Montesano married another woman, and Montessori, finding proximity to her ex-lover unbearable, resigned her position at the school. In this moment, De Stefano writes, she lost “everything she had done for special education, the mission for which she had given up her son at birth.” Such a sacrifice would undoubtedly provide the tragic pivot for the Oscar-bait biopic of Montessori’s life. But it’s not entirely reflective of actual events: after she resigned, she pursued anthropological research in mainstream public schools, finished translating some six hundred pages of Séguin’s writings into Italian, and took an appointment at the University of Rome, where she gave lectures that proposed “practical foundations of a far-reaching reform in our schools. ” (She was reunited with her son, Mario, when he was a teen-ager, and as an adult he became one of her closest collaborators.)

The chance to pursue that reform came in 1906, when Montessori, now an educator of some renown, gained the backing of a group of Roman financiers. The next year, on the day of the Feast of the Epiphany, she opened her first schoolroom—the Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House—in a tenement in San Lorenzo, a working-class neighborhood with high rates of poverty. The building superintendent’s daughter was put nominally in charge, overseeing about fifty children, ages two to six, in activities such as button-fastening, water-pouring, and drawing with colored pencils. The schools multiplied in Italy, then across Europe, often finding their most hospitable environments in regions with a strong socialist presence. At the Casa dei Bambini in Naples, some of the pupils were so poor that they weren’t familiar with the utensils they set out at meal time; in France, Montessori classes were set up expressly to aid kids who had been traumatized by the First World War. And yet these children, despite their deprivation, evinced a stunning response to Montessori’s methods. In particular, they made rapid and enthusiastic progress in their writing skills, encouraged by a system—movable letters, cut from sandpaper and pasted on boards—that was based on play, rather than on rote memorization.

Montessori had found the contours of her philosophy, and she detailed them in her first book, which was published as “The Montessori Method” in America, in 1912. It was prophetic in ways that remain uncanny. Her schoolrooms did away with rewards and punishments—among her many rebukes to the heaven-or-hell endgame of the Catholic Church—and aimed to instill intrinsic motivation and self-regulation, concepts promoted by the wildly popular parenting gurus of today, such as Janet Lansbury and Dr. Becky. In her laments that teen-agers are “subject to the small-minded blackmail of the ‘bad grade,’ ” Montessori anticipated the “gradeless movement” in schools, the opt-out movement for standardized tests, and a wealth of literature indicating that a focus on grades and tests can discourage meaningful learning. And, in her assertion that, in De Stefano’s words, “authoritarianism and competition—the ingredients of school as traditionally conceived—create violence,” Montessori foresaw aspects of the school-to-prison pipeline.

“The child, a free human being, must teach us and teach society order, calm, discipline, and harmony,” Montessori wrote. In some ways, the engine of her method was paradox: order is freedom, and vice-versa; the teacher is subordinate to the child, but powerfully so; a child must be left to her own devices, but left to them systematically, and the devices shall be made of wood.

De Stefano’s American and Italian publishers have stated, in their promotional materials and jacket copy, that “The Child Is the Teacher” is “the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself.” It’s a curious claim, given that the journalist Rita Kramer published a biography, in 1976, that drew on the archive of the Association Montessori Internationale and interviews with Mario and other family members. In her afterword, De Stefano waves away that book as “solid but dated,” and yet her own biography seems at times a kind of digest of Kramer’s, recapitulating the same events and pulling from the same sack of anecdotes and quotations, but often stripping them of historical, cultural, or pedagogical context.

What De Stefano does bring to her subject is a distinct style—she recounts Montessori’s life in a declamatory, sometimes hyperbolic present tense, beginning with a young Maria sitting in a classroom in Rome, in 1876, that “is like all the others in the Kingdom of Italy: a prison for children.” When Maria reads aloud to her class, “she makes everybody cry.” (Really? Everybody?) The chapters are short and the pace is brisk: Maria is interviewing for medical school on page eleven. She seems to glow alone in a darkness; she has very few forebears (the exception is Séguin, to whom De Stefano devotes two chapters and change) and no afterlife. When she dies, the book is done.

And what is Maria Montessori’s afterlife? De Stefano criticizes unnamed skeptics who believe that Montessori’s “ideas cannot be applied in schools for the masses, that they work only with the children of the rich, who attend private schools.” Yet the obvious irony of Montessori’s crusade on behalf of the poorest and least powerful in society is that its most visible legacy is selective private schools for the élite. As word of the San Lorenzo experiment travelled around Rome, two of the early adopters were the city’s mayor and the British Ambassador to Italy; soon, aristocrats and diplomats were hosting Montessori classrooms in their parlors. The first Montessori school in North America began in a Georgian mansion in Westchester, in 1911, with twelve students: the six children of Frank Vanderlip, a founder of the Federal Reserve, and some cousins and friends. The educator Helen Parkhurst, who trained under Montessori in Rome, went on to found the Dalton School, in New York City, where tuition now tops fifty-seven thousand dollars. And, although Montessori’s influence remains a salutary force in universal pre-K programs, it dims abruptly in public kindergarten, where Common Core standards squeeze out free play in favor of academic drills and assessments. (I dread the day that my son, currently enrolled in New York City’s U.P.K. program, is forced to resign as mayor of the block center.) Today, there are only a few hundred public Montessori schools in the U.S., and as Mira Debs, the executive director of Yale’s Education Studies program, has pointed out, they tend to follow a pattern, “becoming Whiter and wealthier with time.”

Review of the Montessori School Bougainville 6-12 on Airport and my experience of finding and choosing an alternative school – 42 answers

I would like to share my impressions and even a very small, but, I hope, happy experience in choosing an elementary Montessori school for my daughter.

First, I wanted to tell you a little background on which I decided to look for a Montessori school.

1. Before the birth of my daughter, I worked at the University and over the years of work I realized that the traditional education system has become obsolete, its fruits are very sad and applicants after our schools are simply “killed” by the system.

2. After the birth of her daughter, she began to look for alternative ways of development, upbringing and education and settled on the Montessori method.

3. Received a Montessori education, including AMI 0-3 and 3-6 diplomas and a Master of Montessori Pedagogy degree, and sent her daughter to a Montessori garden.

4. Naturally, after the Montessori garden, I did not consider the option of my daughter entering a school with a traditional educational system, and this is where my painful search began.

UPD. At the request of the participants, I wrote a post about the results of this year . He is here.

We live in Strogino and I wanted to find a suitable school as close to home as possible. But given the specifics of the choice, I did not limit myself to the district or even the

district.

Given the limited choice of Montessori schools in Moscow, I also considered other alternatives (just private schools,

public schools with different methodologies).

As a result, during the last academic year I visited or studied the following schools via the Internet/phone calls:

Russian Montessori School of Anna Durmanova (Rublyovo-Krylatskoye).

EUK School of development work according to the Elkonin-Davydov system (Krylatskoye)

Primary Montessori school in the house of culture (Kurskaya).

Flashlight school (October field).

Private Moomin school (primary school in Novogorsk).

Moscow Montessori School (Slavyansky Boulevard).

Montessori Club Earthlings (Airport).

Montessori Center Semitsvetik (Dolgoprudny).

Seymour House English School (Falcon).

Class according to the Zhokhov system in school 69 (Strogino).

Classes according to the Zhokhov (Sokol) system.

If someone is interested, I can later tell you why I refused one or another school from this list. This, of course, will be my subjective opinion, because. everything is very individual, considering the family budget.

The closer the end of the last school year before school came, the more my anxiety grew. I understood that only summer remained ahead, but I still didn’t choose a school. The situation was aggravated by the fact that my daughter, very emotional and sensitive to any changes, began to worry more and more about the next year and the beginning of her new school life. She did not want to leave the garden, where her beloved friends, teachers and native friendly atmosphere were. Of all the Soviet books we read about school life (Dragunsky, Nosov, etc.), which she loves very much, Ustina recalled only negative points about deuces, strict teachers, homework and ridicule from classmates.

And only in June, having gone through all the options, I finally decided!

Among the criteria that I was guided by were:

1. Territorial factor (I am not one of those parents who are guided by the principle of walking distance as the main one, but I also did not consider schools in Vykhino or South-West 🙂 This was the main the reason why I refused Semitsvetik, although the price, and the presence of an AMI teacher was very attractive.

2. Educational aspect – it was the main and decisive one. The problem was that, as a Montessori teacher, I delved deeper into the features of the educational process and I excluded some seemingly suitable schools, having studied more deeply how and what they offer in terms of education. For example, the absolutely closed method of Zhokhov.

3. Working hours. Some schools that met other criteria did not suit me at all in terms of work schedule. For example, the Flashlight School (4 days a week) or the Montessori School on Kurskaya from the Montessori Teachers Association (short working day).

4. Availability of additional classes. In this regard, I really liked the public school according to the Elkonin-Davydov system in Krylatskoye and the school and Montessori school of Anna Durmanova. But in terms of education, not everything suited me there.

5. General psychological atmosphere. I liked many schools here in one way or another.

6. Cost. For me, it was important that if the cost is above 20 thousand per month, the school schedule was such that parents could work calmly

and recoup the cost of education.

So, now I’ll tell you a little about how the private Montessori school Bougainville suited me.

1. Educational process. It is really built at the highest level, according to the international Montessori standard. I myself studied abroad, so I can judge that, unfortunately, so far our national Montessori centers do not provide education to teachers at the highest level.

I know for sure that my child will be presented with a complete set of Montessori materials 6-12 and the teacher will know how to work with them correctly.

And that the fruits of this work are visible, there is a visible and significant result, and the child goes to school not just for a pleasant pastime.

Emphasis is placed on work in groups, which is important at this age, when children are actively undergoing socialization processes, in contrast to training at 3-6, where there is more individual work. At the same time, each child develops individually and follows his own plan, no one adjusts him to the general framework, there are no boundaries, time frames and other ultimate restrictions as in ordinary schools.

Versatility and variability in education.

2. Atmosphere.

I am 100% sure that my child’s teacher will never humiliate her and other children in word or deed. He won’t call them fools, stupid, he won’t say that she (the teacher) should be afraid, because according to the sign of the zodiac she is a snake, etc. And this will not happen, not because the teacher will be afraid of some kind of external control from the administration or parents, but because, in principle, a person who has sincerely chosen for himself the path of working with children has some intrinsic values.

Children establish natural contacts with each other, learn to interact as in a real society, largely thanks to the class of different ages. At the same time, I am sure that my child will not watch porn on a mobile phone (yes, such horror is now happening in modern schools and this is in the beginning!!!). The contingent of parents one way or another corresponds to us in terms of worldview and level of culture.

3. Work schedule from 9 am to 6 pm Since the school is not within walking distance, it is important for me to be able to leave my daughter until the evening, if necessary.

4. Additional lessons. From the age of two, I took Ustina to various classes in Strogino, before school we managed to try a lot. Some activities, such as swimming and design, I hope we will continue to attend within the district, but I will not be able to take her to different circles in different centers as before. And therefore, it is very important for me, the opportunity to study English and various creative workshops within the school.

5. Aesthetics. Maybe it’s just my fad, because of my profession, but it is very important for me that the school environment is beautiful and attractive in every way. Initially, I most seriously considered Anna Durmanova’s Montessori school. Since it is closest to us and was suitable for many criteria. But the untidy state of the materials there made me very upset.

Again, as the most budget option, I almost completely did not rule out the possibility of enrolling my daughter in the Elkonin-Davydov school in Krylatskoye. But this school is an ordinary, public one, and although the classes themselves in general look quite comfortable (for a public school, because parents do their own repairs there and the children are in the same class all 11 years), but their toilet plunged me into complete discouragement, I immediately flooded my childhood memories of the school toilet, about how uncomfortable it was to go there, how I tried in every possible way to avoid the need to visit it, about how often I had problems with the most natural physiological needs due to the completely soviet appearance of the school toilet.

So it was not just pleasant for me to be in Bougainville, even as a Montessori teacher I was amazed at how beautifully, harmoniously, thoughtfully you can organize a learning space for children. And this is very healthy, because if you think about it, children spend a very large part of their lives in school and the environment that surrounds them affects their development no less than home.

Here is a summary of my review. I really wanted to share my impression and my joy, because. for me it was a very difficult choice and I hope I was not mistaken 🙂

Reviews | Montessori School “Forget-Me-Nots”

An unforgettable impression was left from attending a lesson in a group of children under three years old, which took place on January 23, 2019 at 12.00. The lesson was conducted by teachers Inna and Svetlana. This tandem demonstrated excellent coherence and high pace throughout the lesson, during which all the kids, without exception, took an active part both in individual lessons and in circle classes.

I was struck by the perseverance of little Polina, who changed without interruption six types of manuals in her work, where the teacher only occasionally directed the development of a certain skill with separate interrogative remarks. At the same time, the child immediately reacted to the question and expressed his opinion.

All the children showed independence and completed the tasks proposed by the teachers with pleasure. Some liked the tasks so much that they asked to repeat them. The kids showed friendliness towards each other when someone wanted to sit next to and join the individual lesson with another child’s teacher or by participating in the circle.

I really liked the part of the lesson on the surrounding world, where the topic of wintering birds was comprehensively disclosed and studied. Conversation, game, dance, verse, appliqué, tactile practice with flying feathers – all this the kids were passionate about and waited with interest for the next task.

The lesson lasted an hour and a half. Nobody wanted to go home! And this means that the teachers were able to awaken the activity to further knowledge! Brilliantly! Thank you for the enthusiastic and interested eyes of the kids.

Best regards, Irina Ginina

We ended up at Forget-Me-Nots while looking for a suitable Montessori kindergarten for our daughter. By this time I was familiar with the method of Maria Montessori, so the choice was conscious. The acquaintance began with a visit to the “Together with Mom” group, where Inna Saburova conducted classes. From the first time I liked the atmosphere and the way the lesson was conducted. In general, Inna and Olga Veniaminovna Lisser, who subsequently taught the “I myself” classes together with Inna, are for me the standard of Montessori teachers who work with kids.

A year later, our Rina joined the Casa dei bambini group for a full day. We have a beautiful, but not the easiest girl to communicate with. She is a highly sensitive introvert, it is not easy for her to trust anyone other than mom and dad. Adaptation was long and difficult. I am still grateful to all the teachers and educators, especially Polina Vedernikova, for their courage and heroism, and, seriously, for their patience, understanding and perseverance.

Now we have been going to the group for the second year. As I became more familiar with the Montessori system, I appreciated its genius. In general, I am not a fan of early learning, but I believe that this system is the only justified, reasonable and natural one that I know of. based on the natural aspirations and qualities of the child, a way of such education. It is very important for me that the teachers working at Forget-Me-Nots are real enthusiasts and fans, in the best sense of the word, of Montessori methods. They show a genuine interest in the results of its application, the desire to match each child with the pace and sequence of classes that suits him, and sincere delight in the magic that they are witnessing. Buying Montessori materials is not a Montessori kindergarten, I tell you. It is necessary that people understand what and why they are doing, and believe in it. The teachers of our group – Polina Vedernikova and Natalia Artemchik – are important people for our family and people we love, we entrusted them with the education and upbringing of our child in the kindergarten, and we have never regretted it.

In Forget-Me-Nots, children attend music, rhythm, and English classes, which we are quite satisfied with. Especially we and our daughter like the drawing lessons under the guidance of the wonderful artist Marina Kudrina. Evening teacher Olga Anatolyevna Kolesova, who joined the group this year, also pleased us.
I especially want to note the work of the wonderful art therapist Svetlana Nazarova. For our child, going to the “sand” is a real holiday. During the existential crisis that our daughter had this summer, we and she had a very hard time. Svetlana is the only person to whom Rina decided to ask questions about life and death that are important for her, and Svetlana found the right words to answer, which became the impetus for overcoming the crisis. Svetlana has a real talent to inspire confidence in children.

So the tireless clever Olga Vladimirovna managed to gather a wonderful team. I admire her determination, “flair” and desire to do everything as best as possible. My husband and I are very pleased with our choice, we wish the wonderful Forget-Me-Not team further success and thank you for your hard work! Montessori pedagogy makes this world a better place, I am sure of it, because everything starts from childhood.

Svetlana Kligman, full day group “Casa dei bambini”

Hello! I have two daughters attending the Forget-Me-Not Montessori School. And I don’t have to persuade them to go to school, they are waiting for classes and although they study for 2 hours at once without a break, they don’t want to leave there. This is a signal for me that we made the right choice! With my eldest daughter, I started learning the alphabet very early and repulsed any desire to read and write, but Olga and Natalya, professionals in their field, corrected my mistakes and in just 2. 5 months reading became a joy, now we are trying to write and I am happy with that the fact that she enjoys the process, and this is the most important thing for me! Thank you very much)))

Vasilisa Shvetsova, Preparing for School group

Under the guidance of sensitive and experienced mentors, I passed the 1st stage of training in the course “Introduction to Montessori Pedagogy”. Based on the results of the training, I would like to note, first of all, the scrupulous and conscientious approach of our teachers-mentors to the learning process. The material that was presented to us in the classroom was understood in detail and thoroughly. When questions arose in the process of testing the acquired knowledge in practical activities, it was always possible to find a response from our teachers and get detailed advice. Competently, in my opinion, the process of presenting theoretical and practical knowledge was built, theory and practice were harmoniously combined with each other. And also a great friendly atmosphere that reigned in our courses. The atmosphere of people united by one common knowledge, people who sincerely believe in what they say! And as a result, I got the feeling that this is my path, my road, and I will go further along this road, discovering the world of Montessori pedagogy again and again. Our dear mentors, I am grateful to fate for the fact that it was you who introduced me to this world of knowledge and introduced me to Montessori – pedagogy.

Elena Boeva, student of the 1st stage of the course “Introduction to Montessori Pedagogy. Mastering the basics of the theory and technology of working with Montessori material 3-6 “

I would like to start by saying thank you! I thank all my teachers who tirelessly helped me become a Montessori teacher for 2 months! I have been a mother for 2 years and 5 months. And now I felt that I was at an impasse, that I did not know what to do next, how to properly educate and help my child develop. There are so many different systems around me – one from there, the other from here – in the head of porridge-malash)))) By chance, literally 3 days before the start of the course, I found information that a group was being recruited for the 1st stage of Montessori teaching. I really liked the time of classes – on Sundays, and I decided that I would definitely go) Two months of training flew by in an instant. This time was spent by me in the most efficient way. In my opinion, the course was very harmonious – the balance between theory and practice, which is very important in the life of a mother, because there is not a single second free for extra. But the organizers tried in such a way that I managed to cope with everything on time, pass tests, write an essay, find the necessary information, and even read a book by Maria Montessori herself and watch a film about her. Therefore, I feel complete satisfaction from the work done by me and the teachers. I managed to immerse myself in my studies, understand the system of Maria Montessori, feel it and fall in love with it. As a result, not only my relationship with the child received a new round, but new guidelines and interests appeared in my professional activities. Thank you, forget-me-nots! See you on stage 2!

Polina Vedernikova, student of the 1st stage of the course “Introduction to Montessori Pedagogy. Mastering the basics of the theory and technology of working with Montessori material 3-6 “

And my daughter and I looked at the open day! She still tells everyone about how many interesting things there are at school and how she really liked it, she couldn’t even fall asleep in the evening, she talked all about the school! We thank Olga for the excellent advice and professional approach, you immediately feel love, warmth for the children and passion for your work! We are really looking forward to September so that we can go to practice as soon as possible!

Montessori school “Forget-me-nots”, yesterday we visited you. I liked everything very much – the enthusiastic teachers, the atmosphere, and the location. We look forward to opening!

Natalya Nikonova, group “Together with Mom” ​​

Dear Montessori teachers of the Casa dei bambini group, thank you very much for your warmth, professionalism and love for children! You charmed our Masha, it is obvious that the child has changed a lot in a week of classes, she has become independent, self-confident and, most importantly, has learned to trust the people around her. We are very glad that we found you)

Natali Murashova, part-time group “Casa dei bambini”

I will join too! Finally, the desired moment came and we went to school! Now Liza gets up and goes to bed with thoughts only about school, she runs there and it is very difficult to take her home! We now have a lot of autonomy and responsibility! Now I don’t wash dishes at home))) soon the cat will get to washing and bathing! And the most important thing, of course, is the desire to get a lot of new knowledge, so much so that we do it at home after school! I would like to thank each teacher for their work, boundless love for children and for their own, sometimes difficult, work!

Anna Kurteeva, part-time group “Casa dei bambini”

Two of my children study at the Forget-Me-Not Montessori School: Egor, 5. 5 years old, did not want to study in traditional developmental classes. When they began to attend preparatory classes in Forget-me-nots, the child began to behave completely differently from the 2nd or 3rd lesson. He goes to classes with pleasure, leaves satisfied, there is a clear interest in knowledge. Many thanks to the teachers: Olga Vladimirovna, Natalya Vladimirovna, who are very attentive, lovingly approach each child.

Egor also attends sand therapy classes with a wonderful psychologist Svetlana in Forget-me-nots. Egor is looking forward to sand therapy classes, goes with great pleasure, always comes out in a good mood. From Svetlana, who is very reverent and sensitive to the experiences of the child, we always receive detailed comments on the classes, advice that helps us a lot. Svetlana is a sincere and bright person with whom it is easy to share your problem. A way out of this situation will be offered for both the child and the parents.

Even in the Montessori school “Forget-me-nots” there is an experienced speech pathologist-defectologist Elena Yuryevna, who was able to find an approach to my youngest child Zakhar, who requires special attention and special classes.

Thank you very much to the team of the Montessori school “Forget-me-nots” for the excellent and highly productive work!

Natalya Azanova, mother of Egor and Zakhar

Good afternoon On behalf of my son and on my own behalf, I would like to thank Svetlana Nazarova for her wonderful sand therapy, which we discovered for ourselves at Forget-Me-Nots, and which became our lifesaver during Yura’s adaptation to kindergarten. The traditional mood for adapting children “I don’t want to go to kindergarten !!!” instantly disappeared as soon as Yura heard that “sand” was waiting for him today.

In addition to a wonderful way of adaptation, sand therapy has become a real “creative and psychological” testing ground for my son, where he draws, sculpts, creates his own worlds from sand, learns to find a common language with his fears, express his feelings, cope with aggression …

And for me, these classes seem to open the door to Yura’s inner world, after each lesson I learn something new about what worries him, scares him, what he dreams about and what he is drawn to, how he sees our family and what he wants, for her to be. For me, this is invaluable knowledge. And Svetlana, with her rare combination of professionalism and love for a child, became a guide to her son’s world.

After each lesson, Svetlana tells in detail how it went, from which side Yurin’s inner world opened up, how and with what he can be helped, accompanying this with colorful photo reports about Yuri’s work)))

Many thanks to Svetlana for her love for children and for for your dedication and willingness to help! I am very glad that my son and I met such a professional psychologist and just bright (exactly like the name!)))) always smiling, empathic and positive person!!!

Many thanks to “Forget-Me-Nots” for all your wonderful teachers: Yura is looking forward to music lessons with Irina and after each class proudly sings me new learned songs!!! With Marina, Yura creates real masterpieces of fine art))) Olga Vladimirovna inspired her son to master the difficult world of numbers and letters: drawing numbers at home in copybooks, Yura proudly declares – “I’ll bring it to the kindergarten and show it to Olya!”)))) Thank you Regina, Anastasia, Polina, Xenia and all other teachers for their hard work and daily care for children!!

Veronika Ippolitova, mother of Yura

I would like to express my deep gratitude to the Psychologist, sand therapist of the Montessori school “Forget-me-nots” Svetlana Svyatoslavovna Nazarova. We went to sand therapy with our eldest son Maxim – he is 5 years old. The first thing I would like to note is that my son is very difficult to enter into a new relationship, but he quickly became friends with Svetlana and immediately wanted to stay at the lesson without his mother. Usually he asked me to stay, but here it was his voluntary decision.

He asked me every day when we would go to the sand next. Svetlana managed to win him over in a matter of minutes, and he trusted her. It is very important to trust. Svetlana made me feel at ease as well. A very good specialist. Maxim used to spend a lot of time on his tablet before classes, but now it’s much less, because he began to find more interesting things to do, began to draw and engage in various creative activities, signed up for chess, began to talk about his feelings more often. And my attitude towards him has changed a lot. I began to see him as a person, his need for love, how to show him this love.

Our adaptation in the kindergarten is going much better – the sand, together with Svetlana, helps him relax, express his negative and positive emotions.

Downtown Portland KinderCare Programs Our Teachers Family Stories AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED We’re so proud! Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why. SCHOOL-READY What Learning Looks Like Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment. Downtown Portland KinderCare Programs Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year) Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and ready to explore their world. Toddler Programs (1–2 Years) Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn. Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years) This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them get used to a more structured school setting. Preschool Programs (3–4 Years) This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step: kindergarten! Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years) When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families in our community.  Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language, math, science, Spanish, and social skills. School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age) Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget. Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years) In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication, and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations! Music Explorers™ (2 – 4 Years) KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play instruments, and even create their own tunes.

From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we have the data to prove it.) STEM Innovators (3-8 Years) You’ve probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but what does that really mean?

While your child experiments, they’ll discover how to use technology to do amazing things! Frequently Asked Questions What accreditations does KinderCare have? We are your trusted caregiver.

Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center! “ I had always thought that I would pick a home-based daycare for my daughters but I also needed the flexibility and stability of a daycare center. By picking Powell KinderCare, I got the best of both worlds. From the very first tour, I felt that my daughter would be safe and happy when I was away at work. The consistency and partnership with the staff has been great. My second daughter is 4 1/2 years younger than her sister and she has had many of the same teachers. As my older daughter has transitioned to elementary school, she often misses “Kinder”, from the summer camps to the special attention she received in Spanish lessons. Now going to spring or summer break care at KinderCare is a treat for her. I don’t often take the time to thank them enough, but the Center Director Carrie and her team make our lives less stressful every single week. ” Bobbie M. – KinderCare Parent Share Your Story If you have a story about your experience at KinderCare, please share your story with us .

This is fully implemented in the concept of most international schools working on British programs. But parents can also make sure that the child learns two languages ​​already in the earliest years of life. This opportunity is provided, in particular, by visiting the bilingual kindergarten Costa Kinder Care, which is located on the Costa del Sol. nine0005 Kindergarten began its activity in 2005 and has earned a reputation as an educational institution that provides high-quality educational services. It is considered one of the best on the entire coast, and not only residents of Benalmádena Pueblo, where the kindergarten is located, dream of sending their children here. This educational institution accepts children aged 0 to 6 years, and they can be here from eight in the morning to six in the evening on working days of the week all year round. Choosing the right kindergarten is a very important decision that all parents have to make. At the same time, modern parents do not only want their children to be supervised – they also care about the development and education of the child. It is the development of the child’s abilities at an early age, as well as ensuring the safety and health of children, that is the main goal of Costa Kinder Care. Educators and teachers have created a favorable and truly homely atmosphere for the kids, largely due to the fact that the ratio of adults to children in the kindergarten is three times higher than the standards currently in force in Spain. This allows not in words, but in deeds to implement the principles of an individual approach. nine0005 The upbringing and education in this pre-school children’s institution is implemented through various activities that contribute to the learning and development of the child. Programs for different ages are designed in such a way as to stimulate the natural curiosity of the child and the desire to learn new things about the world around him, making his own discoveries. Educational goals are realized through play in a safe environment where children can practice skills that are critical for development at a given age. nine0005 The education and upbringing program at Costa Kinder Care is based on a bilingual timetable. Native Spanish and English speakers work with children. Here it is believed that it is the first years of life that provide exceptional opportunities for language development, since the brain of a child under the age of six is ​​extremely receptive. Both languages ​​are organically woven into all kinds of activities that are offered to the smallest pupils. Children learn the meaning of words and phrases directly in the situations in which they are used. nine0005 The most effective way to learn a language at this age is through specially created conditions, when learning new things takes place in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere of the game. Kids in the kindergarten not only play – they also sing, dance, play small scenes. The effectiveness of this approach has been proven over the years of successful work of the kindergarten. The experiences that babies gain in their first years of life are critical to their entire development and learning. All classes with the smallest are held in specially equipped rooms with soft floors, swings, labyrinths. Such an environment promotes the development of psychomotor skills, which play an important role in brain development. Toddlers constantly interact with adults and peers, learning socialization skills. Role-playing games, songs, dances and art classes help to develop creativity from an early age. nine0005 Children between the ages of 3 and 6 begin to learn the basics of what will be the main subjects of the school in the future. The programs are designed in such a way that children will then be able to successfully study in both Spanish and international primary schools. Education is conducted according to individual bright and colorful books and manuals that kids really like. Each of these benefits is designed for a month of work and is devoted to a specific topic. For teaching English, the program “Jolly phonics” is taken as the basis, which has already proven its effectiveness in many countries of the world. nine0005 Classes at Costa Kinder Care run from 9 am to 4 pm. The main academic load falls on the morning hours, and in the afternoon the children are engaged in physical and artistic development. Educators maintain close contact with parents, which allows you to track the progress of each pupil and, if necessary, correct joint work. Costa Kinder Care is a great opportunity to give your child an early and successful start, which will form the basis for all his future achievements. nine0005 You can find the most relevant and exclusive news from Spain in our Telegram channel Page not found – MBDOU “Kindergarten No. 43″ Yablonka “ Nothing found at this address.

All children need their basic needs met in order to thrive throughout childhood and adulthood. When a child’s social, emotional, and physical needs are met, they’re given a sure foundation on which to experience a happy childhood and achieve their full potential. It’s also important for parents to recognize that many of their child’s behavior problems or issues often stem from not getting basic needs met. We’ve all experienced the meltdown of a child who is overly tired or hungry. But children also act out when their emotional needs of affection, attention, and empathy are missing. Most parents and adults are aware of what their child’s physical needs are including: Adequate shelter Eating nutritious and healthy meals on a regular basis Drinking enough water Good dental care Good health care A good education Beyond these very basic needs, children also require the following less tangible needs from their parents or caregivers: 9 Things Every Child Needs to Thrive Once a child’s physical needs are met, the following needs lead children toward a healthier life and development. Secure Attachment A primary need of infants and children is a secure attachment to their parent or caregiver. Forming a secure attachment in early childhood not only creates the foundation of a healthy parent child relationship, it also leads to resiliency in kids as well as better physical and mental health. Children with a secure attachment feel that their parent or caregiver will protect them, help them when distressed and calm them when upset. This is especially important during the first three years of a child’s life when the most brain development occurs. Parents form a secure attachment with their child through physical affection, a lot of quality time, responsiveness, and making their child feel seen and known, valued, and comforted. See related: Secure Attachment – From Childhood to Adult Relationships Unconditional Love Children who are loved unconditionally – without strings attached – are able to blossom into their true selves which provide a sense of security and leads to high self-esteem.   Most parents feel a strong, powerful and what they consider to be unconditional love for their child. But what many parents don’t realize is that their actions sometimes express a conditionality to their love. Wherever a parent withholds affection in the name of discipline or shows disapproval for their child’s lack of achievement, they’re sending the message that their love can vary based on circumstances. While it’s important for us to guide, coach and encourage our children, it’s also important, for our child’s healthy development, to express love without limits. See related: 5 Secrets to Love Your Child Unconditionally Acceptance Similar to unconditional love, children need to know they’re accepted by their parents. All parents have hopes and dreams for their children but it’s important not to let those dreams drive our relationship with our child ( such as: my daughter will be a scientist or my son will excel in baseball). Instead, we need to be alert to our child’s unique personality, varying needs, passions and support and encourage them as much as possible.  Other subtle ways our child can feel rejected by us include: being made fun of, lack of quality time, demonstrating a preference for another sibling, and dismissing your child’s communicated emotional and physical needs.  See related: The Effects of Rejection in Childhood  Emotion coaching One of the biggest challenges for young children is trying to understand and regulate their own emotions. When parents emotion coach their children, they’re helping them develop these skills which support their child’s emotional health and helps them form healthy social bonds. Emotion coaching means helping your child navigate their emotions in a calm, empathetic and supportive manner. It also means comforting your child when they’re distressed, demonstrating active listening with your child, and respectfully helping your child problem solve solutions.   Through your coaching your child will be more resilient, have better coping skills, better social interactions, and will be better equipped to navigate the ups and downs of their childhood and adult life.  See related: The 7 Emotional Needs of a Child That Influence Confidence and Self-Esteem Routines As young, immature human beings, children seek security in their lives. While attachment to a parent or caregiver is essential for this security, a consistent routine can also be a source of safety. When parents establish a daily routine with their child, they’re providing cues for what happens next during the day. When children know what to expect in their everyday activities, they’re less thrown off by changing events and therefore less likely to act out or meltdown emotionally.  Routines also provide the means for better sleep habits, increased independence, and instruction in time management skills.  See related: Establishing Kids Routines Responsibility As children get older, they have a basic need to demonstrate greater responsibility and independence over their lives. It’s important for children to practice these skills at home so they can adequately care for themselves as young adults. Parents of young children can encourage a sense of responsibility by having their child help clean up their toys or messes. As children get older they can take on more responsibilities such as getting dressed independently, making simple meals such as school lunches, and contributing to household chores.  See related: How to Stop Doing Everything for Your Kids and Teach Responsibility Positive discipline As new creatures in our world, our children yearn to understand how the world works including important boundaries and the best way to behave. Positive discipline helps coach and teach children in a constructive way while maintaining a strong and loving parent child bond. Unlike punishment that aims to inflict pain and suffering on a child for wrongdoing, positive discipline recognizes that children’s emotional regulation and cognitive development is immature. And because of this, kids need positive instruction in how best to behave. Parents who use positive discipline respectfully provide their children with appropriate guidance in emotion coaching, boundaries, and collaborative problem solving.  See related: Raising Self-Sufficient Kids with Positive Discipline Good role models In addition to having parents who teach boundaries and proper behavior, children additionally need good role models to understand the best way to interact with and relate to others, establish healthy habits, and generally live life. And parents are the most important role models in a child’s life. In fact, despite the saying: “Do what I say, not what I do.” children tend to do the opposite. Starting when they’re very young, children pick up on the behaviors of their role models – mimicking what they see their parents and others do.  The way we as parents interact with other family members, in social situations with people outside of our family and respond to mistakes all serve as lessons for our children. See related: The Importance of Parents as Role Models Time to Play While play may seem like a frivolous activity to many adults, it’s actually essential to child development. Through play, children learn and grow as individuals. Play contributes to children’s cognitive, social, physical and emotional well-being.  In fact, the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights feels it’s so essential that it’s declared it as a right of every child. Parents can both make sure their children have dedicated free time to play daily and should seek out care options that allow for free play.  See related: How to Encourage Imaginary Play (and Why it’s so Important) What to do next… 1.

There’s a lot going on in those pint-sized bodies. By age two your little one will grow to half their adult height—something they’ll spend the next two decades reaching. And their shape will morph from one designed for doing a whole bunch of nothing to one that can crawl, walk and run. With the world at their fingertips, there’s still so much they can’t do. That’s where you come in. Your Toddler’s Physical Needs Toddlers bring to us four basic physical needs: independence, affection, rest and wide open spaces. Your toddler probably isn’t even aware of these longings. But now you are. So let’s break it down, shall we?  Independence: They’re living the “do it myself” phase of life. Most things they can’t actually do themselves, but they sure want to try. After all, toddlers learn by doing. Affection: Nothing matters more to a toddler than your physical, consistent presence. Rest: Wired as he may be, your toddler needs a break. Naps and room time are like a reset for his mind and body. Wide open spaces: Play is a deceptive word for all the work a toddler does while climbing a ladder at the park or running laps in your living room. Expending energy and gaining knowledge all while going a wee-bit wild is the necessary act of child’s—err, toddler’s—play. How You Make a Difference You can help your little one manage the transition to preschooler as long as you accomplish your number one goal: attending to their physical needs. When you decide to go for it, and to take on all the mess and energy that this action requires, a few beautiful things happen. You: Help your toddler develop confidence. Reassure your toddler he is safe with you. Answer your toddler’s big question, “Am I able?” with a resounding, “Yes!” Portray God the Father as you extend patience, love and grace. Six Practical Ways to Embrace Your Toddler Involve him in your daily activities. Look for tasks that are challenging but doable and ask your toddler to help. You might bake cookies together, put away groceries or clean up a mess. The opportunity to practice a new skill also allows your toddler to contribute to the family in a meaningful way. Repeat a useful phrase. Remember how it felt the last time you wanted to do something but your body or brain wouldn’t cooperate? Toddlers live in that moment. Teach him to work through his emotions by repeating a phrase like, “When you’re frustrated what can you do? Try again or ask for help. ” Say it over and over. Soon enough he’ll stop you mid-sentence, with a smile even, to say “Okay! I’ll try again!” Offer toys and outings that build his muscles. We all have ‘em: toys that light up, make noise and require no effort on behalf of our kids. As often as you can, ditch those passive activities in favor of ones that improve gross and fine motor skills. Grab blocks, puzzles or playdough. Take a long walk, visit the park. Set the stage and let him explore. Cuddle on the couch. Affection is a miracle antidote. It’s also a lovely preventable measure that’s sure to ward off a tantrum or two. Snuggle up on the couch or in bed at least once a day to cuddle, read books or sing silly songs. Relate to their mistakes. Toddlers crave approval. And they’re smart enough to know that peeing on the floor isn’t what you’re looking for. Avoid shaming your toddler, which is demotivating and, instead, relate to their struggle. You might say, “It’s okay! Accidents happen. ” And then share a story about when you made a mistake. Stick to your guns. Toddlers are little boogers who insist—quite convincingly—that they can play all day. But you know better. Encourage two naps for toddlers under 18 months of age and one afternoon nap for older toddlers. If he has trouble falling asleep, fill his bed with books and watch him grow a love for reading. Make rest a must in your home. When all else fails, be an encourager. Affirm effort over outcome with four little words: “You can do it!” Read more about your toddler in One and Two: Parenting Through the “I Can Do It” Phase by Reggie Joiner & Kristen Ivy. It’s just a phase, so don’t miss it. Kristen Ivy is the Executive Director of Messaging at Orange and the Director of The Phase Project. Satisfying the needs of the child is an important condition for the development of personality March 4, 2019 Satisfying the needs of the child is an important condition for his development. A special role in the formation of his personality is played by the extent to which his basic needs are satisfied – physiological, the needs of love, security and recognition. Derivation, insufficient satisfaction of any of these needs prevents the formation of basic personality structures (self-esteem, self-confidence, etc.), which help a person to live in harmony with himself and the world around him. nine0003 It was the questions of basic needs that we tried to reveal as much as possible at the round table meeting “Caring Parent”, since the family and the child are a mirror reflection of each other. Discussion of such issues helps to ensure that each parent present at the meeting can assess the situation in his family, analyze his mistakes, and draw appropriate conclusions. Let’s look at these needs one by one. Physiological needs (vital) is a variety of needs that allow the child to maintain life. A short-term denial of satisfaction in them can lead to serious disturbances in all types of the child’s life (in food, rest, sleep, breathing, etc. ). It is for children that the most necessary vital needs are gentle touches, mother’s caresses, which help the child to feel himself, to know the boundaries of his body, which throughout life remains a support for self-education. nine0003 The need for unconditional love – is a truly vital need of a human being. This is the need for a good and gentle attitude. It is also the child’s need to be seen as himself and not as someone else, so as not to be compared with anyone else. Simply put, it is the need to be individual in the eyes of other people. Love and acceptance by a person of himself depends on how much he was loved, accepted in childhood by his parents. nine0011 Need for security. Children are the category of the population that needs this type of need the most. Years will pass before they become adults, find and take their place in society. All these years they will feel the need for protection, salvation from fear and grief. They require the presence of parents who are not afraid of life, who are adapted in society, in order to calmly accept these fears, help them express these fears, learn to face difficulties. Children need to feel the support of their relatives. nine0003 Need for respect or recognition. Each person constantly needs recognition, a stable and high assessment of their own merits. The child needs his actions and achievements to be approved, recognized, appreciated. It is important to note that a need unsatisfied in childhood becomes the main motivational force of an adult personality. The role of the family in the formation of personality is determined by the dependence, which family is such and the person who grew up in it. nine0003 Share on social networks: Actual news “Sberbank Complems Dreams” 12.12.22 Read more to the International Day of the Disabled 9000.2.22 9000 Read more We will save this world with kindness! 01. 12.22 Read more “We give Moms a smile!” 11/30/22 Read more “Mom is important and necessary in everyone’s life!” 11/28/22 Read more Online financial literacy lessons 11/28/22 3 Read more Previous Track. The physical needs of the child. Anna Freud | Psychoanalyst Of all the necessary conditions for proper development, first of all, it is necessary to say about the need for a carefully balanced diet of the child. In many civilized countries, public organizations control the nutrition of children: in children’s charity clinics they give advice to mothers, timely supply vital products that are difficult to obtain either because of their scarcity or because of the poverty of parents. The child’s diet is based on the results of psychological and nutritional research, and this fundamentally changes the child’s diet compared to the previous generation. What used to be considered a luxury or delicacies (fruit juices, sweets, fish oil, and so on) is now recognized as vital, and today’s children are provided with these products. There is a definite tendency to extend this policy to the later stages of childhood, as evidenced by the introduction of school breakfasts and lunches. There is also a growing trend to shift the responsibility for feeding children from parents to public institutions. nine0003 Space. Adults consider the need for food to be more important for children than another, equivalent to it, physical need, which found expression in John Orr in the requirement of “full shelter”. Many children lag behind in development due to lack of fresh air, lack of necessary hygiene products, due to the fact that the child does not have a separate bed. Another physical need of young children is still insufficiently elucidated, although it ranks high among the basic requirements for raising a healthy generation. Young children need active help from adults in developing their muscle control and physical skills. Not that they need to be taught anything in this regard. The ability to crawl, walk, run, jump and climb develops naturally. But in order to increase the level that each child is able to achieve individually, these skills must be improved, and adults must contribute to this improvement. Children need to be provided with full space and enough safe conditions to achieve complete control over their bodies. In the cramped conditions in which many children spend their first two or three years, they inevitably face some restrictions on physical freedom. P1x movements are restrained so that they do not harm themselves or the property of adults. The consequences of such restrictions in early childhood do not appear as clearly or quickly as the consequences of malnutrition. But there are many children who all their lives remain far below their potential level in achieving physical control over the body. They remain clumsy and undeveloped in their movements, although they could become free, dexterous and graceful if they were given enough space and the opportunity to use toys designed to develop motor skills in early childhood. nine0003 Little attention is also paid to the development of various skills at an early age. Grasping, holding, pulling, pushing, touching and other skills are improved consistently if the child develops normally. But the big difference lies in whether the means to improve these skills are accepted or rejected. There are a great many educational toys that serve this purpose perfectly. The requirement that every child should have access to such things as one of the rights of any child is now being considered by public bodies (eg the UK Nursery Association). The same skills that are expected from a child and from an adult at a later age are quite often not developed from the very beginning due to the fact that the necessary conditions for this have not been created. nine0003 In addition, in connection with the above two requirements, there is a certain tendency to shift the responsibility for providing children with all the necessary conditions from parents to public institutions, that is, to supplement what parents can offer their children in this regard, at the expense of public authorities.
