In Montessori, independence starts with the environment. 🧸
Here’s how to create a child-friendly space at home:
1. Low shelves: Place their favorite books or toys on low shelves so they can easily choose what to play with.
Example: A basket of blocks or a puzzle within arm’s reach.
2. Child-sized furniture: Use a small table and chair where they can sit comfortably to draw or eat.
Example: A small chair by a low table for snack time.
3. Accessible items: Hang clothes or coats on low hooks so they can get dressed by themselves.
Example: A jacket hook at their height by the door.
This simple setup helps your child:
