All in prepared environment
One of the things I am still slowly working on as of this moment is placing child-sized furniture and tools around the home for Kimi. I wanted my son to develop a sense of independence at an early age, and one of the easiest ways that I can encourage this in our home is by providing furniture that are child-appropriate and are of the same height as him.
When I was just starting out my journey on setting up spaces in our home conducive for Kimi, I joined an e-course entitled Setting Up Your Home Montessori-style being run by Simone Davies of The Montessori Notebook.
This is the first setup I did of Kimi’s shelves. I did this roughly 2 months ago when I started reading about the different teaching methods (eg. Montessori, Waldorf) It is not much but the effect that organising his shelves had on me was tremendous. I felt very happy and pleased with this!
There were a few things I did after realising that I had the wrong mindset about accumulating toys.
