We dove into a huge shift in our perspective of babies - how we can move from a position of wanting to contain them, to respecting them, seeing how capable they are.

❤️ INTRODUCING THE RAISE CHANGE MAKERS JOURNEY ✨️🌎 This is not your usual eco/green type of community where you’d learn practical tips and do’s and don’ts – It is much more than that. It is much more than sharing knowledge about sustainability. It is also about raising children using a parenting philosophy that is scientifically proven, time tested and grows us into the best version of ourselves as Parents and Caregivers. It is about self-care, self-love and being a whole human. It is about connection to ourselves, connection to our children, the kind of mindfulness we need within before we could think about being mindful about our planet and the environment. It all starts within us, breaking those inner barriers so that our children grow up naturally seeing and experiencing the connection to the planet and humanity. It is a safe space to support conscious, high-quality bonding between parents and children while raising little change makers who care about all life on Earth. Charlotte from @enrichingenvironments and Ivana @ivybogbu have teamed up to create a comprehensive guide that combines our expertise, ensuring you have the knowledge and tools to raise future change makers who are kind to themselves, others, and the environment.

For our Top Tip Tuesday Masterclass this evening on Sustainable Families. I was joined by the wonderful @ivyogbu to dive into the positive changes we can all make for a more sustainable future for us all. Clarity, Practicality and a Call to Action. This is what we need to be able to discuss, expand and move forward with the complex topic of Sustainability. We opened our hearts and cleared our minds to have a shift in the way we FEEL about sustainability, and how this can translate to simple, tangible daily actions that become part of the fabric of our family. We join hands as we raise this next generation of capable, compassionate, contributors. "Sustainable development is about making sure that we can meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It's not just about the environment, although the environment is a big part of it. Sustainable development also involves economic and social factors." Thank you for joining me @ivyogbu.

During this Top Tip Tuesday Masterclass on Instagram Live this evening we looked at how we should we respond whenour children are being irrational, unreasonable and impossible. 🤔 Some of the 'issues' that we face with our children can be attributed to the mismatch that occurs between our expectations, and their immaturity, both in age and in brain development. 😅 Moments of dysregulation (for our children and for ourselves) are when the thinking brain goes 'offline'. ❤️ As our child, learns, grows and develops in their impulse control (with our support), can we too learn to ride the waves of their emotional expression and not get caught up in it?

Thank you for joining me! This was a great question from a client recently; and a common one too, a Montessori Education isn't accessible to everyone (yet), logistically, financially, physically, so how can we live by these beautiful values even if they are not being echoed at school? In this session we dove deep into 3 ways we can cultivate a Montessori mindset and live a Montessori way of life; regardless of the schooling system that our child is in. 1)’Follow the child’, follow their natural development, nurture their uniqueness. 2) Nurturing autonomy, preparing a simple, ordered and accessible home, treading lightly on our beautiful planet, the interdependence of all things, deep respect of self and others. 3) The Spiritual Preparation of the Adult - nurturing ourselves, understanding ourselves, healing ourselves so we can gift all of this to our children.

Thank you for joining me for this Top Tip Tuesday Masterclass 💖 I have been asked so many questions about screentime recently so this is an important topic to cover. We looked at our relationship with screens and technology and how that is our starting point from which we see our child's relationship with screens. We discussed different techniques to mould our homes into being less screen focussed, setting our intentions around technology and its place in our lives, and looked at our own self-care around screens. Monitoring our usage and observing ourselves before taking any action with our children 😅😊 Hope that this serves you in some way, thank you for joining!

During this Masterclass we discussed how food preparation and cooking with children from the Early Years and throughout the Elementary years builds resilience for a child by developing a friendly relationship with error. This is so crucial because making mistakes, learning and trying again is a natural part of being human - one which is removed from a mainstream educational experience. The question we asked ourselves as the session came to an end was: in what ways are we cultivating a friendliness towards error in our home? #montessoriparenting #montessoriathome #practicallife #montessorimindset #montessorieducation…

We looked at: ✓ What Embodied Parenting is and how it strengthens relationships with our children. ✓ How understanding ourselves helps us to connect more deeply with our children. ✓ The five gifts of Embodied Parenting and Embodied Educating where children reflect back to us our learning, our growth, our gifts. In February 2023 I will be launching a deep-dive 7 month Embodied Parenting- Embodied Educating Mentoring Programme! 🥰✨️ This Programme has the potential to transform your relationship with yourself and your inner child, nourish and nurture your parent-child dynamic and cultivate deep connections with the children in your nursery or classroom.

Thank you for joining me! Physical effort is really important for young children and in this week's Masterclass we discussed why it is so important and how we can facilitate this at home: ✔ Why young children love and NEED real, hard work like this: pushing, pulling, lifting, dragging things that are often "too heavy" for them. (panting and being out of breath is good!) ✔ The importance of this work for our child's development. ✔ How we can provide opportunities for these experiences easily and inexpensively at home. ✔ What size/shape of objects are the most satisfying for them to manoeuvre with.

We had some great engagement from viewers and it really was a deep dive into: ✓Gentle parenting ✓Connection as our guiding light in the adult/child relationship. ✓How consistency, predictability and routine/rhythm create a sense of safety. ✓How and why young children push against our boundaries. ✓Placing ourself in our child's shoes and tending to our own inner child. ✓How our own wounds will trigger unwanted reactions from us in the heat of the moment. ✓The "energy" and spaciousness that we are seeking to create around our parenting and our interactions with our child.

During this session we discussed non-violent communication, how, and why we practise it. How learning this language of life improves communication, invites us into listening and speaking from the heart, and being with each other with presence and understanding Giraffes have the largest hearts of any land animals, so non-violent communication for children calls upon them (and us) to step into being as big-hearted as giraffes. ❤️🦒 We discussed examples of bringing non-violent communication into our homes and Communities as the foundation of the adult-child relationship; expressing needs and listening to others needs. I highly recommend the book by Marshall B Rosenberg - Non Violent Communication, a language of life. https://a.co/d/hGMezmW Non-violent communication offers a level of consciousness whereby people feel seen and heard; restoring care and connection in our families, classrooms, groups and communities. 🙏🏽😍 Check out my new book.

Thank you all for joining me for this Top Tip Tuesday Masterclass: During this session we found the magic in non-correction: Recognising that our child needs to experience the world in their own time, in their own way, a way that follows their natural development is a cornerstone of Montessori philosophy. This 'recognising' extends to not correcting our child when they get something 'wrong'. It can almost be a reflex action for us, this impulse to correct them, and yet, it is so rewarding when we don't, and we give them the freedom to work things out themselves. We discussed how hard it can be, and feel very uncomfortable) to NOT correct when our child wears their shoes on opposite feet, wears their T shirt back to front or writes letters/numbers back to front or upside down. Our conditioning, our own friendliness with error and cultural norms all contribute to how we feel and react when our urge is to correct. Our invitation is to be there and witness, really see what our child has accomplished in the moment. When our children are given space and time to unfold they are immensely powerful . Not correcting asks us to trust that "when the child is ready she will do it properly". It is important for us to honour their path, their learning journey, and their 'mistakes'. As always, the energy that we bring to any interaction with our children is more potent that finding the right words/script to say. A warm smile and noticing our child’s body language is open, joyful and proud when they have achieved something is enough.

❤ Intentional Parenting: the power of rhythm and ritual 🥰 In this week's Top Tip Tuesday's Masterclass we discussed how something as simple as a family whiteboard can support the consistency, predictability and routine that every child needs . We had some beautiful embodiment pieces, feeling into our intention, our resistance when in a power struggle with our child, and visualising how we want to feel in our parenting. Here is what we covered during our Masterclass: 🌼 This whiteboard is our new thing: myself, Olivia and Harry each writing on there what we'd like to do each day, what things we already have planned, what our commitments are. 🌿 Each of us have a voice, each of us can take ownership of our responsibilities (at a developmentally appropriate level), we decide between the three of us what is possible and what is not possible. 🌺 It's not achievable to be able to meet everyone's needs every day; but the power in this approach is that everyone gets to be seen and heard, everyone's voice matters. 🍁 For Elementary aged children, connection collaboration and cooperation is cultivated when they are part of decision-making processes, their strong sense of justice and need for fairness dictates this. 💫 They will resist arbitrary decisions, rules and boundaries - our role is involve them in family life, the logistics, the planning, what we consider to be the "boring stuff". 🕸 They are often more creative and more resourceful in problem-solving and cooperation as they don't have the decades of bad habits that we do 😝, they are able to look upon things with fresh eyes. 😚 We can cultivate autonomy, empathy, collaboration, responsibility and a sense of agency just from something as simple as a daily whiteboard!

Episode 87: The Montessori Sensitive Periods - Small objects/details - Part 6 of a 6 part Series: What a fun way to end our Ramadan series on the Sensitive Periods! This evening we focussed on the Sensitivity to Small Objects and discussed: 💕 Why it’s such a fun stage (as we have the opportunity to experience the joy and wonder of the world through the eyes of a young child). 😊 Why it’s really important for us to immerse ourselves in this stage, be with them in the moment, cultivate their curiosity, slow down for their exploration. 🐜How and why a young child can focus on an ant for what seems like hours! 🤓 What skills they are developing and honing as they spot, pick up and explore those tiny things that they find. 🤹🏼 Balancing our need to keep them safe whilst providing opportunities for them to fulfil this drive; exploring small objects is an important part of the child's work at this age! Parts 1 - 5 of the Sensitive Period Series are Order (Episode 82) Movement (Episode 83), Language (Episode 84), Social Aspects (Episode 85), and Refinement of the Senses (Episode 86) andare all available here on IGTV with captions, YouTube, Spotify and ITunes. *All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, also available on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, ITunes & enrichingenvironments.com Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children.

In Part 5 of our 6 part series on the Sensitive Periods we covered Refinement of the Senses, from 0-5 years old. A child learns through all five of their senses in the early years; they are naturally drawn to and fascinated by experiences in taste, smell, touch, sounds and weight. How we can offer multi-sensorial first hand experiences as part of daily life (at home, it's not expensive or complicated!). How setting our intention to slow down and gently draw attention to the above experiences with our child can support them; it's simple yet really effective. 😍 Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Sensitive Period Series are Order (Episode 82) Movement (Episode 83), Language (Episode 84) and Social Aspects (Episode 85), and are all available here on IGTV with captions, YouTube, Spotify and ITunes. *All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, also available on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, ITunes & enrichingenvironments.com Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children.

The Montessori Sensitive Periods - The Social Aspects of Life - this week for our Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live we discussed the Sensitive Period that develops from around 2 years onwards, being sociable. We looked at how the play prior to this point is solitary or parallel, and the shift that occurs when children seek to actively engage others in play. Why this stage is important, and how we can support our child whilst they balance their need for socialising whilst giving them the tools they need to be part of a Community. How we can cultivate respect of others, empathy and caring during this crucial time when We had a great question about how to support children who have picked up inappropriate language and are using it to get a reaction from adults. Part 5 of our 6 part series on the Montessori Sensitive Periods will be on the ‘Refinement of the Senses’ next Tuesday 3rd May at 8:30pm GST/ Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children. *All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, also see YouTube, or listen on Spotify, ITunes & enrichingenvironments.com 😍🙏🏽💐 #enrichingenvironments #montessoriathome #parentingmentor #leadfromlove…

In the third episode in our #ramadan2022 special series on the Montessori Sensitive Periods, we focussed on language. Dr Montessori identified the period from birth to six years as a critical time in the development of language. During this IGLIVE session we explored: * How language essentially conveys joy, the words of joy we use in a child’s life are more important than the words of correction. * From gurgling 😍 to swearing 😬 , how language develops during the early years from utero to age 6. * how to enrich your child's language and communication learning experience, through the richness of vocabulary that you use. * The misunderstood toddler years, how a lack of ability to verbalise is the main reason for tantrums and physical behaviour in toddlers. * multilingual households. One person, one language is the recommended approach to cultivate multilingualism. We had some great audience questions too - thank you so much for joining me! Parts 1 and 2 of the Sensitive Period Series are Order (Episode 82) and Movement (Episode 83), and are available here on IGTV with captions, YouTube, Spotify and ITunes. *All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, also available on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, ITunes & enrichingenvironments.com Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children.

In the second episode in our six part series on the Montessori Sensitive Periods, we focus on movement. Essentially, movement is the foundation for all development. The young child's need for movement is critical, from birth! And coincidentally arguably the most difficult Sensitive Period to follow in Western society as the majority of "stuff" for babies and young children is designed to limit their movement (for our convenience) rather than facilitate and encourage it! During this Live we discussed: ✓ What freedom of movement means in the early years ✓ Why it's important ✓ How we can facilitate it ✓ We also had some great questions from viewers, thank you so much!

The first in my six part IGLives on the Sensitive Periods for #ramadan2022 - we begin with sense of order. 🥰 The Sensitive Periods are one of the lynchpins of Montessori philosophy that help us to understand young children, their needs within the early years, and thus how we can support them. For this year's #ramadanchallenge I am excited to be running Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live from Tuesday 5th April to Tuesday 10th May as a six part series focussing on these "windows of opportunity". Here in Part 1 we covered: 💗 The Sensitive Periods, what they are and how they are relevant to understanding children. 😅 Sense of order - what does it mean in real life?! How it is important for developing internal order, how order supports sequencing (foundation for mathematics). How a strong sense of order can mean immaculately made beds, folded laundry and neatly lined up shoes! 😊 How an intense period of sense of order, coupled with developing language skills in a toddler can manifest as physical behaviour such as hitting, pushing and biting. 💕 How a strong sense of order can be totally misinterpreted by adults as a child being spoilt or bratty. ✨ The many ways in which we can support and nurture our child during this Sensitive Period.

Sandtimers are essential for life with a Toddler (and older children too!) For Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live this week I talked through how to use sandtimers: > Setting loving boundaries - 'you can swing for ten minutes, and once the sand is finished it's time to give this other little girl a turn'. > Ease transitions - 'in five minutes, once the sand is finished we are going to put on our shoes and jump in the car'. > Defer wishes. 'I'm going to be five minutes preparing supper, when the sand is finished I'll come and read with you.' It's simple to implement, respectful (as it meets your child where they are) and effective. They support a young child's need for consistency, predictability and routine in their life. *I still use them with my 5 & 7 year olds, so it's not too late if you are past the toddler stage, and I included lots of different examples in the Live above.

Developing a deep bond between our children is one of the most rewarding and sometimes tricky to navigate areas in parenting. During this Instagram Live we talked about nurturing the precious sibling bond from the start; from the language we use and the support we offer to each child as they navigate their place within the family. We focussed on three key areas: 1) Not forcing siblings to 'share'. 2) Nurturing non-competition by not comparing one to another. 3) Highlighting to each sibling the importance they have in the other sibling's life. For example for a newborn and a toddler, we draw to the toddler's attention that baby is always watching and listening to them.🤩 We looked at how Montessori principles underpin the values of mutual respect and understanding, and offer a framework for parents that can be beautifully applied in the home environment. Part 2 of this special 2 part series on Sibling Bonds will be focussed on managing sibling conflict and will be on Tuesday 22nd February at 8:30pm GST.

Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live last night on physical behaviour in toddlers. It's normal, it happens!

It was tough at the time, playdates were stressful, my child wasn't coping and the other children involved were upset 😞 In this Live we'll discuss : Why it happens, why it's normal (brain development, impulse control and language/communication skills) How to support your child (not blame or shame them). The hitter/biter is out of control when they do those things; it is a very stressful/scary place for a little person to be in. It passes! Being on the other side of hitting/biting. 😍 How our empathy and support during these stressful times help to develop emotional regulation in our child. Thank you for joining!

During this Top Tip Tuesday on Instagram Live we focussed on the value of play and playfulness for fostering connection and cooperation with our children. We discussed the following key points: 👣 All play is valuable, vital in fact, children learn through play in the early years. ✨ Amongst many other benefits, children practise their social skills, process their emotions, problem solve, and have fun - all in the name of play. 😍 Really playing with our children fully engaging in fun, nonsense and often silly behaviour is healing, connecting and joyful. 🙈 For the most part, parenting should be us enjoying spending time with our children, absorbing their uninhibited joy for life and their limitless capacity for fun and mischief. 💖 Play and playfulness as a beautiful way to connect to our Toddlers (and all our children!), whilst supporting collaboration. Playfulness dissolves power struggles and helps us move through tricky moments in the day with a greater ease (and less stress!). We become detectives to find out what type of playfulness is most effective with our child (silly, walk, voices, dances etc). Thank you so much for joining me everyone!

You are a magician!" (Kate-Dubai) ❣️"I’m so happy we sent Liza! She came home so happy, enthusiastic, informed and full of ideas for some changes we can make in our home. I can already tell you covered many things I was trying to explain and muddle my way through, and she really “gets” it. I know she is intelligent and passionate about childcare, but honestly I am relieved that you have empowered her with the knowledge about Montessori, and she seems genuinely “sold” on it, not just “doing what I say”.

For Top Tip Tuesday this week we spoke about the holiday season! Inspired by our conversation on the Montessori Show last Friday with @jeannemariepaynel and @themontessorinotebook; this week for Top Tip Tuesday let's discuss simple holiday traditions that we can start with our children from the early years. We discussed Santa, do we pretend he's real, do we say he's not? How do we maintain the magic of Santa whilst staying aligned with our principles of being honest with our children? I feel that we can really get ourselves unnecessarily tied up in knots about the 'right' thing to say about Santa. 🤦♀️ The Christmas season is a multi sensory experience for us all, we can enjoy the magic of the sights, sounds and smells for what it is in the moment. If we meet our child where they are, at their level of understanding then we won't go far wrong.💖 ✨🌲💓 Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children.

In this session we discussed an approach we can take to handle difficult questions to ensure that our interactions stay child-led. (i.e we don't overwhelm them with too much information the first time they ask a question!) and we take things step by step, answering only the question that they have asked - then stop and let them come to us with a follow up, which may be minutes, days or hours later). Always be guided by the child, moment by moment, listen to what question they are actually ask them and answer that exact question as simply and truthfully as you can. It's also fine (and encouraged) to admit when we don't know an answer to their question, suggest doing research together to find out answers, or say we need time to think! We had some great questions from the audience which added different perspectives too - it was really useful.

During this session we focused on three main areas in order to understand and best support our boys: * expressing emotions * aggression * purposefulness The book I recommended is called Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph (he also wrote Raising Girls - both are brilliant!). Misunderstood and mislabelled, Western society is in general critical of boys behaviour, their natural tendencies and interests - as we try to mould them into our perceptions and expectations. 👣 I have a boy myself so know how sometimes the energy levels, need for physical contact, expression through anger and aggression can be pretty intense and overwhelming. ☀️ He is also loving, sensitive, helpful and loyal in equal measure.

During this Instalive we discussed one of the key concepts of Montessori Living/Parenting and Education - developing autonomy from a young age so as to support our children in becoming capable, compassionate and contributing members of society. We answered the following questions: 🌞 So how do we develop autonomy from birth? Through the #preparedenvironment and having a #montessorimindset . 🌹 How do we help our children to help themselves, rather than taking over? We see our children as immensely capable, regardless of their age, we wait before we jump in to help and we observe our child to understand their needs and interests.

Thank you for joining me! In this IG Live we discussed how puppets, teddies, stuffed animals are a fun and effective way for parents and caregivers to cultivate emotional intelligence in children. Here are the main points that we covered: ✓ Children love hearing stories! ✓They offer a child an opportunity to experience the world from another's perspective. ✓ Challenging behaviour (from our child or others) can be addressed in a non shaming or blaming way. ✓ Difficult feelings (which is usually the reason behind challenging behaviour) can be discussed in an open, non-judgemental manner.
