@jessemccarthy I just noticed this presentation and cannot thank you enough🙇🏻♀ How Ragnar was exploring and discovering at this excellent outdoor venue was marvelous to me (I am doing my best to visualize how much he must have grown during these last nine months...)! Very best wishes, Andrea S.
I have a 19-month-old son too and can certainly relate with the notion of being the one to say “look at this”, “come and see this!”, especially in such a novel and stimulating environment! But it’s a whole other strategy (a relaxing one too) to allow your child to find their interest and invite you into that. Certainly going to try doing this. Thank-you for sharing!
Love seeing these short videos, they are very helpful and offer practical advise to parents like myself looking to integrate further the montessori method outside of the school. My 15 month old is very curious about the world and I take so much pleasure at just watching her go and explore. She is not very vocal at the moment but she likes to point at things when she is exploring and with a sound she makes she asks me to name the objects around her. You can almost see her nodding her head in appreciation of the fact that I’m allowing her to lead and I’m simply naming the things that attract her out and not the other way around. I used to be very proactive in pointing out things but since I started in this montessori journey and watching these videos I have come to have a much deeper appreciation for the CTFD approach 😂

Thanks for sharing the experiences with your daughter, and great to hear on CTFD. :-)
