Getting the basics right

The world is a wonderful, beautiful place - help me see it.

Small children are learning about the world, what do we want them to see?

Do we want them to see the beauty in the detail of a flower or a leaf as they pass a garden? 

Do we want them to see the beauty and the power of their bodies?

Do we want them to see the wonder of the earth as it supports life?

Do we want them to see the beauty of creativity in all its varied forms?

What is it that you most want your child to see?

Clearing away clutter, simplifying life, creating calm and establising order helps us all to see more clearly. 

Make a place for me - please!

You prepared your home for your new baby, have you now prepared it for the needs of your young child?

Maria Montessori described the classroom as the prepared environment. The home too, if it is to meet the emerging needs of the child, needs to be prepared.

If the child is confronted by obstacles and frustrated at every turn is it any wonder toddlers can be cranky?

Your child wants and needs to do things by themselves, every non -essential help is a hindrance to the child's development and it demonstrates to the child that the adult is an obstacle rather than a partner on the path toward independence..

To create a home environment which supports the developmental needs of your young child realistic expectations and child friendly time frames are essential along with ordered, age-appropriate physical organisation.

Starting with the physical organisation often helps with the rest. De-cluttering your child's play space/bedroom is a great place to start, it will help you to see more clearly and decide on the next step.

Help your child blossom this spring.

Spring has arrived with all its beauty and life is again affirmed, hope renewed.

Spring cleaning was traditionally used to sweep away the last vestiges of the cold dark winter and welcome the season of growth. 

Spring is a time of awakening. It's the perfect time to evaluate what's happening at your place. 

Look around, is it time for a clear out?  Do space and order beckon?

Creating a lovely, ordered space for your child is a beautiful thing to do.

Order and beauty are so important for the young child. The early years lay the foundation for all that is to come. 

Make the most of these precious years, surround your child with simplicity, with beauty and with harmony.
