And then Montessori is now considered more a way of life and how we can actually use those ideas at home.
So I help parents apply the same principles that I set up my classroom into how they can set up their homes so that their children maybe can be more independent or so there can be more order where everything else is chaotic or to give kids a feeling of safety and security where
you know, everything else can fluctuate in daily life.
And also I just love how it helps encourage kids to be involved in our daily life.
I think that sometimes it's almost switched where kids get to sit on the couch or play, you know, all day, every day.
And actually we forget to just include them in normal life, like preparing meals or putting away their washing and all those kinds of things.
So we can definitely set up the home to facilitate all of that.
Yeah, I think it's really actually super simple.
Often we don't have the same place where we take up our shoes.
Sometimes we kick them off in the kitchen and sometimes we kick them off in the hallway.
And if we just actually set up our hallway that there's a spot where a basket maybe where they can throw their shoes and if you have hooks where they can hang up their coat and maybe their bag, then it actually just helps because they get used to, okay, mum said I need to put my shoes on.
It's actually so easy because my shoes are already where I left them.
And when you do this routine day after day, it becomes ingrained and helps them.
It's one less thing they have to think about in that series of things that they're going to get distracted with along the way.
So it's super easy, but it might even be having a chair so that there's actually a chair to focus them.
Oh, I'm sitting on the chair.
This is the chair that I always put my shoes on and that will help me get out the door.
So it's really breaking it down and keeping it really easy, but also just making the space there really clutter-free and inviting so that they don't get distracted by the things that shouldn't be kicking around there.
Because if there's a ball by the front door, then they might be like, oh, let's play ball now.
So I think that just keeping it really simple and beautiful as they come in would really help kids stay on task in that area.
