So that it's not just like free reign, but we're also building skills in areas that they have difficulty in.
Well, for example, an ADHD kid is often one who doesn't want to sit still, right?
They need to move a lot.
And so in a Montessori classroom, you're you're moving around the classroom.
You're taking an activity, you're bringing it to the table, you're working with the material, you're bringing it back.
you can stop and observe another child.
So even observing another child at work is your work at that moment.
And so you've also got a lot of movement in all of the activities.
We have what I mentioned before, practical life activities where you might be decide to water the plants.
So then you go to the sink and you go and fill up the watering can and you go back and you water the plant and then there's a spill, so then you go and get them off and then you go back.
There's a lot of movement in those activities.
Even when you're learning sensorial materials, they have the pink tower, for example, for the younger children around three years old.
And each block is brought one by one over to a mat.
And so the children are physically picking up things and moving, it's not sitting filling out worksheets.
There's very little worksheet involved.
And when you're doing maths, you're
working with tiny little bees, it's a really concrete way to learn and I think it'll be a very engaging and movement oriented way.
And a lot of ADHD kids learn through movement.
You know, I actually love the story, like you say, that Asher could dictate to you like a whole book.
Remember when he was writing his books?
