The Montessori Toddler

( Stereognosis is the ability to know an object by feeling around it.)

Ideally, we don’t interrupt our child’s deep focus. A simple comment from us can distract them from whatever they are working to master, and they may abandon the activity completely

Follow the child’s pace and interests. Let them take the time to choose for themselves rather than suggesting or leading the play. Let them pick from activities they are working to master—nothing too easy or too difficult
