Power of appreciation

Children always learn the first lesson from their parents. They always tend to copy your actions, words, and style. So, the way you speak to them and the way you shower your care on them is of profound significance and has a long lasting effect on their self- esteem. Children have to be moulded in such a way that they are appreciated for all the good things they do even if its is a small thing and should correct them from doing wrong things. Montessori training recommends to observe your child to the fullest and identify in which activities they excel and where they lack skill. Praise them for the excelling activities and boost up their confidence in doing activities which they lack skills in a better way. Take care to avoid being negative on unnecessary things. Instead talk to children properly and encourage them to come with a solution to their problems. In class room Montessori trainings also, these methods are being followed.

Let them take care of themselves

When you are a parent, your protectiveness towards children will be high and often want to do the best for them starting from selecting their clothes to choosing their friends. But, most often growing minds of children will not be ready to accept the choices made by the parents. So, the best thing a parent can do is to let them take the lead in taking and making their choices. It will automatically help them in learning new things and to recognize their worth. Additionally, it promotes self-reliance and allows them to infer the importance of each and every verdict they take in life. Montessori training strictly follows the proposition of children being the active and integral part of learning process. They get to assimilate the qualities of self-love and importance of appreciating oneself.

Starting with simple activities like buttoning their shirts/skirts, doing ties, analysing colour match etc. Montessori education introduces them to tiding up, basic activities of food preparation and practical skills of washing hands, folding clothes; which are essential in day to day life. Even at home these practices should be continued so that it can become part of their daily life. Empower the skills of children by letting them do what they really wish to do if it is in a safer side. Allow them to assist you in household activities such as preparing a snack, chopping vegetables, cleaning, mopping, organising, throwing trashes etc. Be careful and make sure you are indulging them in tasks that fit to their ages.

Along with building up self-reliance in children, teach them to be adaptable to different opportunities and situations and should be always susceptible to constant changes in life. Promote them to try out and face new challenges in life. This can shape them as open minded, confident young citizens who are proud by themselves and a valuable asset to parents.
