📚👶 Reading to your baby is a time for bonding, when your little one creates a positive association with books. ❤️ Research shows that reading boosts language skills, and its benefits extend through the school years. 🍎 The earlier reading starts at home, the greater the benefits!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
📚 For National Reading Month our Monti Kids Learning Team is offering up tips on how to foster a love of reading in your baby. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Tip 1️⃣ : When you finish reading, offer your child a turn to explore the book.📖 It is normal at this stage for babies to want to explore everything with their mouths. If your little one starts teething on the book, it’s best to offer a teething toy so he learns that books are for reading and looking, and not for teeth! 😉 ⁣⁣⁣

🧒💛 A toddler entryway station can be easy to set up and gives your little one the independence they crave! It doesn't have to be elaborate or expensive. ⁣
⁣
👏 @sonnysmontessori shares her inspiration behind this set up for her son! ⁣
⁣
🏡 “Near our front door, we have created a place for Sonny to keep his outerwear, in addition to a mini self care station. This entryway is perfect for toddlers and was inspired by @themontessorinotebook and her suggestions from The Montessori Toddler. ⁣This station allows Sonny to organize his outerwear, brush his hair after removing his hat and practice wiping his nose with a tissue. For the tissue box, I simply cut a hole in an empty box from the craft store and fill with a few tissues at a time. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here you will find:⁣⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Small bench for putting on and taking off shoes (vintage) ⁣⁣
2️⃣ Command hooks with a choice of two seasonally appropriate jackets ⁣⁣
3️⃣ Low mirror (Target) secured with velcro command strips⁣⁣
4️⃣ DIY organizer (IKEA hack) for tissues, hairbrush, hats and shoes"⁣

✨ 🌎 The first weeks of life are a time when your newborn experiences the beginning moments of concentration, and learns to build that focus. As parents, we can protect and nurture those moments like a bubble, allowing concentration to grow. ⁣🌱 ⁣

Our Monti Kids Founder @zahraikassam recently shared her birth stories on @thebirthhour podcast. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🙋"I believe there is no room for judgement on a woman’s choice of how to mother, birth, dress, and live. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
🤱Society is so hard on us and the most feminist thing we can do is to be kind to one another and to ourselves. 💕 I shared some deeply personal choices in a recent interview with @thebirthhour Podcast, as well as some emotionally charged moments. From hypnobirthing and unmedicated birth to postpartum bliss and depression, this is a tell all that makes me feel vulnerable but also excited because honest conversations have the power to connect us all.⁣" ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣

💦 💛 💦 Practicing pouring is a perfect activity for your little one to work on their fine motor skills. Our Monti Kids Learning Team recommends introducing pouring to your child with a little water in a cup, after watching mom or dad pour. Be prepared for plenty of spills! 😉 ⁣
⁣
✨ "Papa has been in a sensitive period for scooping, pouring and other wrist work. Here I introduced him to his first pouring activity using liquids, which he found very interesting! I’ll be adding this opportunity to his mealtimes from now on so he can practice pouring his own drink as often as he’d like."⁣
⁣
🚰 Notice this little one's focus on the spilled water drop, as he learns to dry to the table! 🙌 ⁣

✨ We love it when Montessori mamas in our community inspire others! @carrie.dockery fell in love with the self care station set up we posted from @sonnysmontessori (swipe left), so she couldn't resist recreating one of her own! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
"I love giving my daughter the independence to do things herself. She loves to brush her teeth and hair on her own so this station is perfect for her so that everything is at her level!" ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We think the results are 😍 👏 ⁣⁣⁣

In her TEDx, Monti Kids founder @zahraikassam speaks of the value in setting up Montessori spaces in your home. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💦✨ "Setting up a water cooler where a newly walking child can get a drink when they’re thirsty not only allows them to practice their motor skills and independence. It also allows them to build up their planning, goal setting skills and their self-control - key elements in the development of executive function," @zahraikassam. ⁣⁣ 📹: Watch Zahra’s TEDx - link in bio! ⁣⁣
