we can see maybe even what's triggering them because we're just being more objective observers so we can be more sensitive to, oh, I can see he's getting wound up and we can step in a little bit earlier.
Or um yeah, just knowing what our child needs and how close we might need to be to them if they're in a volatile situation.
Um or or simply what um activities interest them so that we can provide engaging activities around the home so that they're more engaged and having fun at home and not bored and complaining because they've got a stimulating, engaging environment around them.
think we also don't use um a lot of praise in Monte Story, or we use a different type of praise.
We're exactly the same.
We're kind of observing what they've achieved so that they can reflect on what they learned for themselves.
So this is actually teaching children intrinsic motivation as opposed to extrinsic motivation.
Um so that's where it applies for us.
We're basically trying to teach children self-discipline.
So that they know what feels good and
to reflect on themselves if they like the painting that they made rather than always looking externally like is my painting any good?
Often a four year old will already ask and they've lost their own self, you know, worth.
And this is something that's the only thing we have really, you know, we're trying to build this muscle in the children to reflect on what they've done.
So for example, a one year old who walks across the room for the first time has got this big grin on their face, you know, they're so excited.
And instead of like clapping them going
God boy, you want you know, a Mont Story teacher would say, Oh, you look really excited.
He walked across the room.
We're still in, you know, expressing it, but we're giving back to them the information, giving them feedback, what I like to say, really, as opposed to external praise.
And so they want more of the praise.
That's the idea is is that if yeah, we were told that if you just say good job enough, then they'll want to do it again.
