Hi Mom and Dad!
Dr. Montessori believed that understanding the periods of growth is key to helping me thrive. By recognizing the unique needs of each stage, you can give me the tools I need to succeed.
The Four Key Stages
- 0–6 Years: Foundation-building for movement, language, and personality.
- 6–12 Years: A calm period for expanding knowledge and social skills.
- 12–18 Years: A transformational phase full of change and self-discovery.
- 18+ Years: The consolidation of everything I’ve learned.
Why This Understanding Is Crucial
- Each stage has specific needs—meeting them helps me grow to my full potential.
- It prevents frustration by aligning your expectations with my abilities.
- It empowers you to be my guide and cheerleader throughout my journey.
Tips for Supporting Me at Every Stage
- Observe and Adapt: Watch how I’m changing and meet me where I am.
- Be Present: Your love and support mean the world to me, no matter my age.
- Celebrate Growth: Recognize and celebrate every milestone, big or small.
Thank you for learning about my journey and supporting me every step of the way. Together, we can make these growth periods unforgettable!
Love,
Your Growing Partner 💙
