Connecting the child

Thursday, July 14th, 2011 8:37 am | By Stephanie Woo

I took B and M to my Montessori training center. Brooke was fussy and I was at a loss. My Montessori trainer, Judi, held her for a bit and noticed that B kept touching her shirt and watch band. She asked someone bring over 4-5 toys with different TEXTURES. B was enthralled! She touched everything over and over for a LONG time. When you can observe and connect a child to the thing they are interested in, magic happens.

My mother Ms. Lam says, “Babies are not here to torture their parents, they are here to please their parents.” Words of wisdom to remember.
