And I it's just in my head now.

And I've practiced it for so long and then it becomes automatic.

So it's like learning a new language and

And I think it's really nice.

And then occasionally the kids will say, Are you proud of me, Mum?

And I'll go, I love you.

Of course I'm proud of you.

But I don't have to do that all the time.

Well, one that you'd appreciate, I think, a lot, because I know self-care is important to you, is preparation of the adult.

And so Dr.

Montessori, she wrote a lot of her things in the early 1900s, and she talked about how the teachers need to prepare themselves.

Um, because we can't be these calm guides if we're tired or if we haven't done sometimes the work to understand why we're being triggered by a child's behavior.

And so um, it's also really important for us to

Take the time to look after ourselves so that we can look after the others.

And this could be because sometimes you can't, you know, it might be going out and having a massage, but actually, more likely, it's having a cup of tea, putting on some nice music as you're making breakfast, putting some flowers on the table, um, having a long bath in the evenings, reading books if you like reading books, making time to look after yourself and grow as well, that not everything's about the

child but that you're also growing.

So I think that's always really beautiful to come back to and I love that it's really a part of her philosophy that the parent or the adult also looks after themselves.

Well, I think the whole modestory approach is often also following our child's interests and their own unique timeline.

And this can happen at school, but also just at home, you know, like

If we're leaving the house and your child doesn't want to leave the house, how can we find ways that we get them involved?
