Recently the children have been exploring "All About Me" and talking about body parts. 👀👃🏽👂🏾🦶🏻👄

With the use of a mirror we explored our heads noticing our eyes, nose, mouth, hair.

Following on from this conversation, loose parts materials were set out as an invitation to the children to create their own representation of their faces and hair. They used different shapes and materials to represent their eyes, nose, mouth and hair.

This activity was rich in creativity, language and tactile experience.

✨ FREEDOM WITHIN LIMITS ✨⁣ ⁣ Some may perc

✨ FREEDOM WITHIN LIMITS ✨⁣
⁣
Some may perceive Montessori as having either too much freedom or not enough. This seeming paradox can be explained by a more just appreciation of the true meaning of liberty in the Montessori context. Liberty is not license. Maria Montessori did not approve of "absolute freedom" but advocated for freedom within limits or freedom within a planned, purposeful environment.⁣
⁣
Limits may look like⁣
- Any child is free to work with any material displayed as long as he uses it respectfully. The child may not harm the material, himself or others.⁣
- A child may not use the materials in a way that disturbs the activities of others.⁣
- The child restores the environment during and after an exercise.⁣
- No child touches the work of another child or interferes with another's activity unless invited to participate by that child.⁣
- Children are not coerced into joining a group activity. A child is not allowed to interfere or disrupt an activity in which she has chosen not to participate.⁣
- A child is not forced or even encouraged to share with another child an exercise which she has chosen to work with by herself.⁣
- A child is free to "do nothing" if he desires, as long as he does not disturb the activities of others. He may be learning by observing others working, or he may be thinking or simply relaxing. ⁣
⁣
The ultimate goal is the development of inner discipline, which, Montessori believed, could only come from freedom within limits.⁣

When we continuously do everything for our childre

When we continuously do everything for our children, we rob them of countless opportunities to gain independence and learn to do things for themselves. After all, as Alfred Adler said, a parent's job is to work themselves out of a job!

Children learn by doing. When a child is learning to put on their own shoes, for example, it's a huge lesson for adults to learn to respect a child's work by stepping back and allowing the child to do it, without correcting them.

The classic example of shoes on the "wrong" feet gives us adults the opportunity to practice respect for every child's work and focus on the achievement. What a child learns when we "correct" their work is that they are not good enough and that they have failed. "Shoes are on and I did it myself!" That's what matters.

Children also learn through experience. If the shoes feel uncomfortable, it is this that a child must experience to be able to self-correct. If, however, the child is quite happy with the shoes the way they are, what does it matter if they are on the "wrong" feet just now? They will self-correct in time and parents can trust the learning process to unfold.

"Any child who is self sufficient, who can tie his shoes, dress or undress himself, reflects in his joy and sense of achievement, the image of human dignity, which is derived from a sense of independence." -Maria Montessori

Montessori is not accelerated learning at an early age, though academic achievement is often a result due to the fact that Montessori training takes full advantage of the small child's intense desire for knowledge of his/her surroundings and readiness for learning. It gives the child the opportunity to gain mastery at his/her own speed in all areas pertaining to living.⁣

Maria Montessori understood that the essence of an "education" is not about the feeding of information to a child but rather the stirring of the innate desire, within the child, to learn. In Montessori, the key elements that allow this to unfold organically are the teacher, the environment they create and your child's peer group. ⁣

Thank you to @whichschooladvisor for featuring Little Land in the 'Back to School in Pictures!' (Link in bio 🔗).

Welcome one and all! Here's to a great year!

One of the hardest things to do is hold space for your child to feel their feelings in a public setting where you can feel judged by the onlookers. We've all been there! 😅⁣
⁣
In the spirit of cultivating compassion, when you see a parent holding space for their child who is melting down, we invite you to hold space for the parent. A kind smile... an encouraging word...can go a long way to helping them feel more at peace and able to be there for their child.⁣
