I just want to say that I love your videos. I’m a grandparent now and they’re just what I needed when raising my own children. Back then I knew nothing of Montessori. But now I’m caring for my granddaughter 3 days a week. She’s an extremely bright child and learns things quickly. My problem is that she has learned to pee in the toilet or her potty seat but we can’t get her to poop in the toilet. She resists every time. When I see that she retreats to her play area or her room with the intention of pooping I tell her she can go in the potty or the toilet but she refuses. Then she goes off to play and just holds it in and doesn’t go. She still wears pull-ups to sleep. What can I do to help with this situation. She’s already turned 3. When her mom is home she will usually just let her keep her pull-up on until she poops, and then cleans her up and puts her underwear on. Please help.
Just curious, what do you think about baby chopsticks?
Hi Ashley, UK mum of 3 and absolutely love your channel! I have been following for a while now ☺️. This might be a stupid question but the only thing that stresses me out about Montessori and it's probably really silly but knowing what toys/ activities would be beneficial for what age and what I should put out for them based around their developmental at that time. Is there a book or something you can recommend that tells me "At this age, your child is developmentally ready for or would benefit from this activity or this toy or they are working on this skill at this age etc" I know that every child is different and I know that I need to follow my child's interests as well but I always worry I'm not providing my children with activities that will meet their current developmental stage. I have a 6, 4 and 4 month old and I find it overwhelming to provide each child with the right things! I hope that makes sense 😅.
Thanks its really helpful for a new parent
Love your non judgemental approach to this video specially the baby containers. ❤
I recently discovered your videos and the Montessori way of thinking. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. My background is in Occupational therapy and I didn’t realize how many OT principles overlap with Montessori. Made the conversation with my husband a lot easier when I was talking to him about how I wanted to raise our 8 month old.
My middle child through a fit when his older sister put shoes on till he got shoes on, he started walking very early. Never really crawled.
Great content ❤
I absolutly love this video, thank you!
With little/ no knowledge of Montessori i have already implemented some of these things, this has definitely driven me to better understand Montessori and implement more of these.
Such an awesome video!!!!❤
I don’t love the word Montessori as children over the world have been learning how to be independent for centuries but I love the concept of encouraging little humans to think for themselves and solve their own problems and gain a sense of self. This was a great and useful video and will definitely implement some tips! Thank you. I need to work on weaning my 8 month old breastfed baby who sleeps with me into her own floor bed 😅
Watching this video reinforces the idea that it can be done. Wish us luck !
We love you and are praying for you and your family. I absolutely love your new hair cut.
I just watched your video for the first time because I wanted to find out more about this Montessori. Around 20:25 you speak about how it would be if we lived with giants that we needed there help for everything. I felt the Lord speak to my spirit and say that you are the one who will model there need for me. It is how I created it.
Correction: You are not long-winded 😊
You had a lot of good information; and you are very thorough at explaining it.
The focus tip actually really helped me. I've been plopping my 3 year old in his baby gym so I can get some stuff done and feeling guilty that I wasn't playing with him. He is perfectly happy for like 30 minutes playing by himself, but for some reason I was feeling like I wasn't doing enough. This actually really helped me reframe that as his quiet time to learn to concentrate and play by himself.
You are a godsend!! My oldest two did Montessori through preschool and I encourage it for everyone! I now have a 4 year old and will be fully homeschooling him and I needed a refresher and your videos have been perfect! Thank you!
Do you have a book you could recommend on Montessori parenting?
Excellent info
I already do a lot these suggestions without being a Montessori home. I would never get rid of a crib or a high chair though.
Cribs are the best for keeping your babies safe and honestly it makes life so much easier as a parent. My tots learn to open doors before getting out of a crib. So that would mean I would have to lock the door which is a no for me because of fire safety. It's faster to run in, know the placement of your baby, and run out with them.
High chairs- My tots would never sit at the entire meal on their little table. It teaches them to be patient and it's also helpful when going out to eat. I always get compliments on how well behaved both my kids are without screens. That's because we sit at a table for every meal. I also use the high chair to teach them words with cards and books. They're confined, so they pay attention more. I also use it for crafts (again confined) and they don't get up and run with the finger paints!
Just being real about it.
Hi Ashley, love your content so much! Just a quick question about the second swap (weaning table instead of a high chair), when did you start to implement this? Did you use a high chair for the months of 6 tot 12 for example?
So useful! Hope more parents will watch this and think about it!
Is Montessori a religion?
If only I can translate everything you said to my traditional Hispanic parents & to my mother in law and her husband on how I want them to be with my daughter. I feel like it’s so hard to get other people to help raise your kid the way YOU want them to be raised when you constantly need help and they don’t listen. 🥺
Thank you for the tips! I really love them!! My son is 8 months old and really active! I really would love to let my baby boy crawl all day but we dont have heated floors and i have concerns that he would catch a cold laying all day on the cold floor… and i dont want to have carpets because we have a dog .. does anyone has advice? Thank you ❤
Hahaha
