Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 008: Simone Davies on How to Be a Calm Parent in Difficult Situations · 17 May 2016 podcast

So instead of a teacher standing at the front of the classroom, instead you have materials laid out around the room and different subject areas and the children actually learn.

can choose for themselves what they want to work on so it's actually empowering children to learn because they're interested in something not because the teacher says that this is what we need to learn and so you're basically encouraging curiosity in kids and yeah empowering them to stick at things concentrate follow their own development no one's the same and then you have mixed age groups usually in a classroom so the older kids can help the younger kids and the younger kids observing and watching the older kids and

So it amazingly works that it's not complete chaos, actually.

Everyone's really busy working.

Yeah, the freedom to choose is amazing because they actually want to learn then.

Yeah.

Yeah, totally.

It's not like saying, oh, here you have to grow up and do everything yourself, like and take all the fun out of childhood.

It's actually that they're so interested in doing it and working alongside and being part of the family.

And yeah, like a toddler can cut apple and really proud that they made their own snack.

And it's not forcing the child in to eat any apple.

They want to sit down and eat the snack they just made.

So yeah.

It's just including them in daily life and all of those kind of skills

useful and they have processes and steps and so they can build concentration.

They're learning a lot.

For a toddler, they're actually getting fine motor skills from these kind of activities and daily life.

So that's really cool.

I mean, it's a lot of, I'm sorry, even if once you're moving to school age, the materials that they use in the classroom are all concrete.

So you don't learn maths by someone writing on the blackboard.
