Tantrums are a natural part of childhood, and while they can’t be entirely avoided, there are effective ways to reduce them, like establishing a daily routine and offering age appropriate choices and independence. It’s important to remember that children naturally crave independence as they grow, and by nurturing this desire, you can foster a more harmonious atmosphere. Allowing Kalia to make her own breakfast choices not only supports her independence but also enhances her sense of autonomy and self-esteem. Moreover, it’s a wonderful way to express that we truly value her as a whole person with thoughts and emotions. #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessorimom #independence #childhooddevelopment #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #snackstation #toddlersnackstation #practicallifeskills #tantrums #motherhoodrising #slowdown #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodsimplified #montessoripinoy #pinoy #kapampangan

Setting up a Montessori-inspired spaces at home helps your child learn and do things independently. Creating a special spot in a closet or drawer with reachable items allows them to practice everyday tasks by themselves. These prepared spaces not only promote independence but also boost confidence, making your child feel valued and included. Everything at Kalia’s height and everything in its own place ensures easy access to all her needs.Encouraging age-appropriate tasks fosters important life skills. Children thrive when they can do things on their own. The goal isn’t to completely change your home but to make specific areas accessible, so your child can actively participate and be a part of their environment❤️ No need for extra furniture. Get creative with what you have, like using stools to reach the bathroom sink or placing utensils and snacks in lower cabinets. Simple adjustments can go a long way in making your home more accessible for your child. #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessoribaby #montessorichild #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #toddlersnackstation #practicallifeskills #motherhoodsimplified #montessoriinspired #montessorispaces

Here are 5 beginner food prep tools to consider if you’re starting food prep activities with your child: 1. Wooden knife: Choose a child-friendly knife designed for safe cutting. These knives usually have blunt tips to minimize the risk of accidents. 2. Small Pitcher: Perfect for pouring. Toddlers can gradually learn to pour liquids like water or milk under supervision. 3. Egg Slicer: It provides a fun way for toddlers to practice slicing soft foods like hard-boiled eggs, strawberries, bananas. It is great tool to start teaching slicing skills. 4. Dull Butter Knife: It’s safe for toddlers to spread soft spreads like peanut butter or cream cheese. 5. Learning Tower or Stool: It is a fantastic tool that allows toddlers to safely reach countertop height. This enables them to participate in food prep activities alongside you. These tools not only enhance your toddler’s fine motor skills but also promote their independence and confidence in the kitchen. Keep fostering their curiosity and creativity through these engaging activities! 👩‍🍳 Comment ‘KITCHEN TOOLS’ If you’d like the link to all the products we use🥰 #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessoribaby #montessorichild #montessorimom #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #toddlersnackstation #practicallifeskills #foodpreptools

Building these skills definitely didn’t happen overnight, but it’s been a gradual process every day. We started when Kalia was around 12 months old. She showed interest and would mimic everything we did, so I began involving her in our daily tasks. Teaching kitchen skills to your child isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation. Every child is different, so there’s no universal age or approach. Instead, watch for signs of interest and readiness. When you notice their curiosity, invite them to watch and gradually involve them in simple tasks. Remember, it’s okay if your child doesn’t show interest right away; not all kids will, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s a unique journey for each family.❤️ Table&chair @sprout_kids use our code KALIA to get 10% off #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessoribaby #montessorichild #montessorimom #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #toddlersnackstation #practicallifeskills #beginnerfoodpreptools

It’s intriguing how some people question why I allow my child to engage in real-life activities like cooking in the kitchen and not just let her play with her toys, meanwhile toy stores offer a wide range of pretend play items related to those very activities. Children are naturally attracted to activities that may seem like chores to adults, but for kids, these activities are enjoyable. We’ve seen how much my child enjoys helping in the kitchen, it sparked her curiosity and taught her valuable life skills in a enjoyable way. Both pretend play and real-life activities have their place in enriching a child’s childhood. Real-life tasks build practical skills and independence, while pretend play fuels creativity and imagination. It’s all about finding the right balance for your child’s development❤️ Share your thoughts in the comments☺️ #montessori #montessoritoddler #pretendplaytoys #practicallifeactivity #practicallifeskills #montessoriinspired #motherhoodunplugged #momreels #parentingtips #toddlerindependence #toddlercooking #foodpreptools #motherhoodunfiltered #relatable #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #childhood #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #slowdown #momlife #reality #momsoftiktok #toddlersoftiktok

Children find motivation in helping because it’s something they enjoy. Early exposure to chores not only instills important life lessons but also establishes a routine of responsibility that can become a lifelong habit. It also creates special moments with our children. Even though it may sometimes feel like a time-consuming effort to have your toddler involve with chores, remember that it’s not just about the task itself. The goal isn’t to be perfect every single time. It’s about laying the foundation for their future as happy, successful adults. “It’s not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings.” -Anne Landers #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessoribaby #montessorichild #montessorimom #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddlerlife #toddlerhood #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #gentleparenting #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #functionalkitchen #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #toddlerhelping #respectfulparenting #practicallifeskills #chores #momsoftiktok #parentingtips #toddlersoftiktok #chores #toddlerindependence #independence #toddlerskills

Before your child can hold a pencil, it’s essential to focus on strengthening their hand muscles, core, and posture, all of which are fundamentals for handwriting. Pre-writing activities play an important role in helping children get ready for writing. They improve fine and gross motor skills, wrist movement, pencil control, and spatial awareness. These activities lay the foundation for successful writing. #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriinspired #montessoriactivity #montessorimom #independence #childhooddevelopment #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #prewritingactivities #prewritingskills #toddlerfunctionalkitchen #beforetheycanwrite #practicallifeskills #motherhoodrising #slowdown #motherhoodthroughinstagram #motherhoodsimplified #lovevery #strength #loveverygift #prewriting #prewritingactivity

Children are incredibly capable of safely and responsibly doing big things. Remember, knowledge brings safety. Introducing her how to safely handle knives teaches her consequences, responsilibity. It also boost her confidence and promotes independence. It took months and a lot of practice. We scaffold knife skills as she gain competence and maturity. Once she master one knife skill we move to a more difficult level. #montessoritoddler #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoriactivity #montessorichild #independence #childhooddevelopment #toddler #montessoriskills #toddleractivities #practicallifeactivity #parenting #learning #toddlerfoodprep #toddlercooking #toddlerfoodpreptools #snackprep #childhood #motherhoodunplugged #toddlerindependence #independenttoddler #toddlerknifeprogression #toddlerknifeskills #practicallifeskills #beginnerfoodpreptools #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodrising #knife #montessoriknife #montessorifamily #montessoritoddler #montessoriathome #kidsknife #toddlerknife

Involving your child in daily tasks takes time and patience, but it’s a wonderful way to create lasting memories. While it may be slower, the rewards greatly nurture your child’s growth. Shared experiences can be meaningful, fostering a strong bond and learning opportunities. These memories will stay with both of you. Working together provides hands-on learning, sensory exploration, and language development. Talking about tasks broadens your child’s vocabulary, aligning with Montessori’s focus on dynamic learning and connection to the world. Also prioritize the process, not the outcome. Your child is learning essential skills that will shape them into lifelong helpers, even if the result isn't perfect.

El primer impulso que tenemos como adultos es salvarlos de la frustración, sin embargo, es en esos momentos cuando se empieza a forjar su carácter: la constancia, la perseverancia, la tolerancia a la frustración, el sentimiento de “yo puedo hacerlo solo” y sobretodo el orgullo de haberlo logrado sin ayuda, no tienen igual. Es a partir de ese momento donde la tolerancia a la frustración se empieza a ejercitar, sí, así como un músculo, y poco a poco se desarrolla para perseverar en momentos donde el reto es mayor. En esos momentos tu peque lidia con la frustración de no poder armar un juguete, o de atorarse al levantar la pierna, pero cuando crezca sus problemas serán más grandes y es en ese momento que podrás cosechar los frutos de haberle brindado herramientas para afrontar los problemas y perseverar. Cuando sean adultos no esperarán que alguien venga a salvarlos o que alguien esté detrás de ellos para continuar. Esto no quiere decir que no puedas ayudarlos a veces, pero esta ayuda debe ser luego de brindar la oportunidad de hacerlo solo y la mínima necesaria para continuar la actividad, o también cuando te pide ayuda (aunque primero podemos animar a intentarlo solo). El Método Montessori no trata de que tu bebé haga todo solo y nos desentendamos como adultos, sino todo lo contrario, siempre debemos estar presentes, acompañándolos y brindándoles herramientas para la vida. Te animamos que la próxima vez respires hondo y le des unos segundos para continuar intentándolo, lo sabemos, esto será más difícil para tí que para tu peque, pero los resultados lo valen 🌿 ✨Triángulo Pikler de @aserrin.pe . . . . . . . . #montessori #montessoriencasa #actividadesmontessori #Montessoriathome #montessoriactivity #montessoriactivities #montessorifortoddler #montessoribaby #practicallifeactivity #vidapractica

Independence and understanding is just what the child wants. That’s why the “let me do it” phrase is one of the most common at age 2😅So please observe your children. Listen to them. Let them slow you down as they try new things. Meet their needs. Let kids be kids! This is my baby at age 1.

Introducing the Montessori coat flip: Is your toddler in that “me do it stage” where they want to do everything themselves including putting on their coat? Here’s how to make it fun! This is the Montessori cost flip. We’ve been practicing it since 18 months and he finally mastered it! Try it at home they will love it! - [ ] Start by placing the coat on the floor and have them stand by the hood the label - [ ] Place their hands inside the sleeve and lift it up over their head until coat slides down into their body and there you go ! #bxmontessori #montessorimom #montessori #positivediscipline #postiveparenting #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #montessoriinspired #bronxmoms #momlife #momblogger #educational #toddlermom #toddler #toddlermomlife #montessoriencasa #montessoribabyroom #montessorichild #practicallifeskill#practicallifeactivity #practicallifemontessori #dominicanmom #blackmoms #blackmomsoftiktok #momsoftiktok #momlife #bronx #bronxlife #newtorkcity #kidsoftiktok #cutebaby #cutetoddler #montessoriactivities #montessoridad
