我为什么要写这个部落格
B以及M，20个月大，帮助我一起切红萝卜，之后用来制作罗勒汤。
距离上一回在我的部落格贴文，已经有三个半月了，过去这一段时间，我跟两个女儿一起住到丹佛去了，在科罗拉多州，我完成了我的0-3培训，搬回纽约，将我们的房子整修，出租，然后搬到巴尔的摩，我的老公开始一个新的工作，孩子们也要开始上学了，真的是很紧张的时间。身为一个蒙特梭利人，同时又是个妈妈，虽然经历好多的变化以及迁移，我自己本身的转化是最大的。受训时，我写了1000多页的笔记，学习如何帮助0-3岁的孩子成长，发挥她们生命最大发展潜能，观察了不同的孩子计有250个小时，将我观察到的细节都纪录下来，最后还要通过一个6小时的笔试，以及两小时的口试。整个过程，是转化的经验，不管从母亲的角度，还是蒙特梭利人的角度！
我开始写部落格，因为我的双胞胎刚出生时，我的母亲给我很多的好建议，所以我觉得应该要跟更多的妈妈们分享。之后我又开始写，因为孩子们的发展令我惊奇，如果给对了环境，她们的能力不可限量。现在，我觉得我要写，因为我感受到这个年龄段发展的重要性，对于孩子以后的人生，以及以后的人类都有着巨大的影响。0-6岁的孩子，有吸收性心智，将周围的一切以他自己的生命全数吸收，你给他多少，他就吸收多少，如果你吝於给予，孩子就发展的少。所以在这个年龄，给孩子们最好的环境来进行吸收是最好的，从环境中吸收的一切，将肉身化成为他的一部分，一辈子带着，成为她们意识的一部分。我在培训中所学的一切，我用在设计孩子的生活环境上，这就是为什么在之后的部落格，你将会读到我请小孩摆设餐桌，清洁，为什么给她们用剪刀，给樱桃去子，使用刀子等等。用意不是要训练她们能耍马戏，或是父母能够炫耀孩子有多棒，是因为你即将读到的活动，其本身的设计都是要来帮助孩子们成为自己生命的主人。身为一个母亲，这就是我想要给孩子们的！
Congratulations on completing your AtoI training! I also completed mine in Vancouver with ChaCha this past summer. I can sense how deeply the last summer of the course has changed you. I look forward to reading more of your adventures with Brooke and Mackenzie.
Hi Stephanie. Wow you have been very busy. Congratulations on finishing your AMI 0-3 Montessori Training. I would love to do this course myself; alias I missed the last intake. I look forward to reading your future posts, especially how the girls are going at school. I have been looking into this for my girls who are currently15 months. We have the option of with parents or without parents….. I'm a wee bit scared about the with parent option as there is two of them and one of me! Also I wonder how my presences would impact them.
Carrie,
Chacha's sister lectured at our course in the summer of '11. How was your course? Judi Orion is a legend in my mind and the course was amazing. I love the materials on your website http://www.beginningmontessori.com/, especially the puzzles. My girls are just starting to become very interested in the parts of things. Did your husband make those?
Stephanie
Kelly,
Have you been to Montessori Toddler-Parent classes? I just saw this online and thought of you: http://www.howwemontessori.com/how-we-montessori/2012/09/why-attend-a-montessori-parent-toddler-program.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HowWeMontessori+%28how+we+montessori%29\
I don't know where you live, but it's could be a great place to start. Have you asked the school you're considering enrolling how they work with mothers with multiples? Usually, when the mother cannot get to both children, that's what teachers are there for – to help!
