Are you triggering your child’s tantrums & behaviors without realizing? 🤔 #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

I truly don’t ever believe that any child is an inconvenience. Child are just children & they belong and should be able to live amongst adults anywhere.. on a place, in a restaurant, at a concert, or in a library.. When we consistently expose them to these places and the behavior we expect through PRACTICE.. they will learn 💞 🧠 #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

Might have to also add ✨something to share✨ this season 💛 I’m thinking of a gift membership to a museum ☺️ What are your children asking for this year? 🎄 🎁 ❤️ #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

Not my proudest thing to admit.. but I remember I was the mom who was always overstimulated, always touched out.. and it showed through how I handled my son’s frustrations and emotions. It didn’t get better until I truly learned how to regulate myself, something that was never modeled or taught to me. I have to remind myself to take a deep breath, pour into myself and take every opportunity to relieve my stress when I can, and not rely on using shame or guilt to get my son to calm down or listen. Tell me your go-to calm down tactic? 🧘‍♀️😮‍💨🫂 #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

Whenever I start to feel a REACTION coming from myself.. I try to take a step back and ask myself: Am I TRIGGERED or am I just UNCOMFORTABLE? Sometimes inconveniences make us was to draw up a reaction toward our children, when truly.. were just frustrated by the discomfort of the inconvenience. This is where your ✨emotional regulation✨ skills need to KICK IN! Take a deep breathe, walk away if you need to, and remind yourself that ✨it’s OKAAAAYYYYY✨💛 #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

Hot take: it’s better for your child to try.. and fail at a task than to never try at all.. 🫣 #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

When we include them it just feels natural ✨ #montessori #montessoriathome #montessoritoddler #praise #childdevelopment #cde #ece #parenting #positiveparenting #consciousparenting #newmom #firsttimemom #boyMom #girlmom #boydad #girldad

This is the “MAGIC RATIO” 🪄 💛 Drs. John and Julie Gottman have spent their careers studying couples and what makes romantic relationships work…or not. One of their findings is that in stable, healthy relationships there is a ratio of 5:1 positive feelings and interactions for every one negative feeling and interaction. If this ratio is closer to 1:1 or, worse, 1:5, then the relationship is likely will be unhealthy and even toxic. Researchers have found this same “magic ratio” present in other healthy, positive relationships as well such as teams at work, friendships, and classrooms. #m#montessorim#montessoriathomem#montessoritoddlerp#praisec#childdevelopmentc#cdee#ecep#parentingp#positiveparentingc#consciousparentingn#newmomf#firsttimemomb#boyMomg#girlmomb#boydadgirldadlife
