February 19, 2021Episode 25 - ' Why we observe rather than interfering'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
✨Why we observe rather than offering to help straightaway💖
During this week's Top Tip Tuesday we discussed the following:

> Why offering to help is actually a hindrance because it breaks concentration.
> How offering to help infers that they cannot complete the task, which lowers, rather than increases their self confidence.
> What we can say when they do complete their task; so that we are honouring and celebrating their unique learning journey. (Rather than giving them praise that makes it all about us).
> Why sitting close by to them, quietly observing them, is the most powerful support we could ever offer.🙏🏽

February 19, 2021 Episode 24 - 'Why we don't correct our children when they put their T shirt on back to front
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
✨ Why we don't correct our children when their t shirt is on back to front❤
Our Top Tip Tuesday covers '9 reasons why we don't correct our young child when they get something 'wrong', like wearing their shoes on opposite feet or their t shirt back to front:
It can almost be a reflex action for us, this impulse to correct when our children get something 'wrong' . Why does it bother us so much when their T shirt is on back to front? 🤔. It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things does it. 🤷🏼‍♀️
It can be alot for our ego (and feel very uncomfortable) to NOT correct when our child wears their shoes on opposite feet or writes letters/numbers back to front or upside down.
This is about our child and allowing their sense of self to unfold. The fact they have tried and achieved it in their own way is immensely powerful.
Not correcting asks us to trust that "when the child is ready she will do it properly".
It is important for us to honour their path, their learning journey, and their 'mistakes'.
Thank you for joining, hope you enjoy it!

February 19, 2021 Episode 22 - ✨Feelings are called feelings because we're meant to FEEL them✨
✨Feelings are called feelings because we're meant to FEEL them✨
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
In this Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live we discussed a somatic approach to discussing feelings with our children.
> Supporting them in becoming aware of the sensations within their body as a first step.
> Us, as parents, understanding that young children need real, first hand experiences, so feeling feelings rather than talking about them is natural and an incredibly powerful practice to start.
> We begin by getting familiar with our own bodily sensations, what are we feeling within our bodies? Where do we feel them, what is the colour, temperature and texture of them?
> When we feel comfortable with experiencing our full range of emotions inside of our body we will be able to guide our children in this practice.
Enjoy, and thank you for joining me!

February 19, 2021Episode 21 - 'Why we do not offer rewards or punishments'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we covered:
Why both rewards and punishments disempower our children.

How the Prepared Environment at home that is simple, ordered and accessible allows us to be more proactive, rather than reactive in our parenting.

Simple phrases we can use to invite connection when there is undesirable behaviour.

We also had some great questions towards the end of the Live about how to manage resistance from our children about getting ready for school in the morning and not wanting to clear up after themselves after a meal.

Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
The Preparation for my 4 week Course "Creating a Montessori Playgroup" !
> Two years ago in October, myself and a group of intrepid friends created the first @enrichingenvironments Montessori playgroup. 🥰
> I was the only one of our group who had any Montessori Training so this experience was an adventure for all of us. For them, immersing themselves in a new way of life, and for me, training adults (when I was used to teaching children!)
> During this Live I explain the structure of my "Creating a Montessori Playgroup at Home" Course, I'll walk you through our process as we came together to form our Playgroup, how each family created their own #enrichingenvironments - all whilst supporting our children and each other. 😍

February 02, 2021Episode 19 - Montessori Mealtimes
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
The importance of involving the child in food preparation and preparing a kitchen space so that they can access the tools they need to be able to prepare their own snack, and lay the table for mealtimes.

The child seated on a low chair eating from a low table.

Allowing the child to come to the table when they are ready to eat, and leave the table when they have finished - they can be completely independent in their decision to eat or not.

Why bowls and glasses are wooden, glass or ceramic instead of plastic.

Why water is served in a tiny glass (no sippy cups or plastic beakers).

Why the emphasis is upon the child's full sensorial experience of the joy of eating, not on how much they are eating or how they are getting it into their mouths!

Why they feed themselves, either with their hands or a spoon. (why the adult does not feed the child).

The child decides how, and how much they want to eat.

We had lots of great questions from viewers as well!

January 17, 2021Episode 17 - 'Non Violent communication'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
Giraffes have the largest hearts of any land animals, so non-violent communication for children calls upon them (and us) to step into being as big-hearted as giraffes. ❤️🦒

Non-violent communication offers a level of consciousness whereby people feel seen and heard; restoring care and connection in our families, classrooms, groups and communities. 🙏🏽😍

With NVC we are given the tools to be able to respond to others, and ourselves, compassionately, even in the most difficult circumstances. (not always easy to do 😒).
