And we always use in Montessori lots of baskets and trays where you have one basket per activity.
And it just means that it helps the child take responsibility for their things because they have everything they need at the ready.
It's easy for them to pack away because it goes in a certain spot.
And so everything in its place is kind of like a Montessori slogan for when you're tidying things up around your house so that the children can have success.
And I even find with older kids, I need to go in there once a month because stuff builds up and they don't really know where to put stuff anymore and it starts to accumulate.
Yeah, so keeping control of the toys is a big thing.
out of sight at night?
Yeah, I definitely think so.
I think that maybe even like if you have open shelves that you might even need to place a curtain that comes down at night if they're really, you know, being stimulated by those things and finding it hard to switch off.
So that's definitely something to think about.
And I mean, we would start really young with kids in Montessori with taking responsibility for their things and packing things away.
And
When we talked about putting clothes into a laundry basket, if you start when they're young, like, oh, I'll carry your t-shirt and you carry your trousers, then you start doing it together.
It becomes very normalized very quickly and you don't have to, it's much harder to teach an eight-year-old to put their clothes into the laundry because they're like, oh, you do it.
And they get that kind of attitude where if they've just always done it, it might be in a dinner time taking their plate to the kitchen.
If you've always done that from when they're a little toddler,
then they can just build that.
And it's great for their executive functioning to be like taking these steps.
So a younger child would just take it to the kitchen and older child would be able to put it into the dishwasher.
Other children can help with the washing up and then you can keep building skills like adding drying up to that list of activities that they're going to be doing so that you continue again to scaffold the skills and grow that executive functioning.
