I love this post because it is very true. I have a very curious 2 year old. Sometimes he is testing boundaries but most of the time when I am most frustrated it is because I am trying to contain or control him. It struck me recently that I was getting more angry more often, so now I try to look at the situation from a different angle and work WITH him. Everything relaxes and life is easier.

Thanks very much. Very good read and i agree sometimes going with the flow works better. I am wondering whether you can give me some tips between going with the flow, or spoiling them. Sometimes people say if you let your kids mess about and play with this and that, when normally you wouldn’t ie water all over the place etc, you will spoil them. I need help defining that boundary. Thanks!

This depends. How old is your child?

Thank you for reminding of an important ideal that I have forgotten recently. I’ve been tired, sick and busy lately and I’ve been saying no a lot. I became interested in Montessori because it teaches us to “follow the child”. I’ve been so caught up in adult work that I forgot to let him do his work, which is to learn through play.
