Hi Mom and Dad!
Did you know that the way we look at childhood is changing? Dr. Montessori believed that children aren’t just smaller versions of adults. We’re building something extraordinary—a full human being! This shift in understanding has paved the way for a new approach to helping me grow.
Why a New Orientation Is Needed
- Traditional studies focused mostly on adults, but children offer the key to understanding life.
- While adults move toward stability, children are all about construction and growth.
- Every action I take—learning to talk, walk, or explore—is a step toward building myself.
How This New Perspective Helps Me
- It shifts the focus from “teaching” to “helping” my natural development.
- It highlights my joy in learning and growing—something that adults often find hard.
- It acknowledges that I have unique needs and strengths during these early years.
How You Can Support Me
- Provide a Loving Environment: I thrive when surrounded by love and encouragement.
- Celebrate My Efforts: Every new word or skill is a big step in my journey!
- Observe, Don’t Rush: Let me explore at my own pace—it’s how I learn best.
Closing:
Thank you for seeing me not just as a small person but as a builder of something great. Together, we can make my early years unforgettable!
Love,
Your Little Creator 💙
