Connecting the child

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.
