Montessori?? How to raise smart babies (+ kids!)
How do we play with our babies? How do we educate our babies? Let's talk about baby toys, child development, optimal learning environments & how to grow our baby's brain right from birth.
Hi friends! When it comes to child development and education our babies I honestly do not spend much time thinking about how I will help to grow my baby's brain. I love my children and I know their educations matter, but between the responsibility of day to day tasks, and the overall goal of keeping my kids alive and loves .. very little of my mental space goes to asking questions like .. what is the optimal learning environment for my baby?.. how can I teach my baby to crawl, grasp, walk, & think curiously? .. how can I help children be explorers who use their imaginations & have longer attention spans? .. In this video I talk about baby play and how we as parents and educators can be more intentional about our style of play and the toys we use to engage our babies and young children. Montessori has some brilliant ideas, originating from Marta Montessori of Italy, so I have tried to incorporate some of their beliefs into this video to support you in educating your child. I don't personally believe in spending a lot of money of baby toys.. I also don't think you need to read to your child every night.. or at the hospital when the baby is born.. or really anything that is going to cause further exhaustion or stress to a new parent's life ... that is not my style. I love the idea of incorporating little intentional moments of exploration into your child's life, in nearly effortless ways. From creating a simple beautiful environment for baby to spend time in, with less toys .. which means less clean up for you! To adding songs, stories, laughter, and just general talking to your normal everyday routines. There are easy things you can do to .. "grow your baby's brain" .. if that is your concern, and there are fun options for educating your little ones that don't have to be costly or tiring.
YOU ARE A GREAT MOM. Have grace with yourself and do what you can to enjoy the motherhood role .. however tiring, confusing, emotional, fun and crazy it sometimes is. Thank you for letting me support you in it!
