The Secrets of Montessori - Normalisation

In this insightful video, we explore the concept of normalisation in Montessori education and how it can transform children's learning experiences. Join us as we dive into the world of deep engagement and joyful learning.
Learn how normalisation is about helping children find their inner balance and concentration, allowing them to fully enjoy and engage in their activities. Discover the signs of a child who is in this state of deep focus and happiness.
We discuss the Montessori work cycle, which gives children the freedom to choose activities, explore them at their own pace, concentrate deeply, and complete their tasks. We also provide practical tips and relatable examples for parents to support normalisation at home.
Sometimes, children may seem distracted or uninterested. We address this as 'deviation' and offer simple solutions to guide children back to a state of deep engagement and joy in learning. We emphasise the importance of observing their interests, adjusting the environment, and fostering a love for learning.
Join us on this journey of understanding and discover how normalisation can unlock a world of joyful learning for your child. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this video to spread the joy and inspire others on their own learning adventures.

Good evening Miss. Thank you for explaining normalization and deviation. Would you please share some practical examples for developmentally delayed autistic children to gather their attention w/o use of electronic devices, programs or tablets? Thank you for your time and help.

hank you for your question and your kind words. Helping developmentally delayed autistic children develop focus and attention can be done through various sensory and hands-on activities. Here are some practical examples:
Sensory Bins: Create sensory bins filled with materials like rice, beans, sand, or water beads. Children can explore different textures and colors, which can be engaging and calming.
Art and Craft: Offer arts and crafts activities that involve simple projects using non-toxic materials like colored paper, clay, or watercolor paints. Art can be a wonderful way to engage creativity and concentration.
Nature Walks: Take nature walks where children can observe and interact with the natural world. You can collect leaves, rocks, or sticks and discuss them afterward.
Puzzles and Matching Games: Provide puzzles and matching games that are age-appropriate and match the child's developmental level. These can enhance concentration and problem-solving skills.
Music and Movement: Engage children in music and movement activities, such as dancing or playing musical instruments. Music can be a powerful tool to capture attention and foster self-expression.
Cooking or Baking: Involve children in simple cooking or baking activities. Measuring ingredients and following step-by-step instructions can be a great way to build attention and fine motor skills.
Books and Stories: Reading books with colorful illustrations and engaging stories can captivate their attention. Ask questions about the story to encourage focus and comprehension.
Outdoor Play: Outdoor play in a safe environment provides opportunities for exploration, physical activity, and learning about the natural world.
Sensory Play: Offer sensory activities like playdough, water play, or finger painting. These activities can help children with sensory sensitivities to become more comfortable with different sensations.
Structured Routine: Establish a structured daily routine, so children know what to expect. Predictability can often help with attention and reduce anxiety.
Remember that each child is unique, so it's essential to tailor activities to their specific interests and needs. Be patient and observe what engages them most effectively. Feel free to adapt these activities based on the child's sensory sensitivities and preferences.
Thank you for your inquiry, and I hope these ideas are helpful. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, please don't hesitate to ask.
