The Role of the Prepared Adult
As a prepared adult, your job is not to dictate or merely let the child play. Instead, it involves observing your child’s developmental stages, understanding their interests, and guiding them by introducing activities that align with their growth. This approach is more about knowing how to guide rather than what to buy.
Understanding Child Development
A key principle of The Montessori Method is understanding child development. While Montessori is an aesthetic, it’s not just an aesthetic. The Montessori Method prioritizes meticulously curating an environment that evolves to meet your child’s academic, emotional, and social needs – meeting them exactly where they are. This fosters independence, concentration, and a genuine love for learning within the child.
Creating a Prepared Environment
The prepared environment is thoughtfully organized, but also dynamic. A prepared environment changes based on what you observe about your child. This space is not static or purely aesthetic; it’s a living environment that grows and adapts with your child.
Moving Beyond the Surface
If you want to move beyond surface-level, instagram Montessori and truly dive into authentic Montessori homeschooling, focus on your role as a prepared adult.
