As your toddler begins to make sense of the world and what role they play in it, they find comfort in consistency. Hosting guests in your home or traveling to someone’s house for a holiday meal can disrupt your child’s routines in ways that you might not realize. It can help to engage them in simple household tasks. 🥧 Try involving your little one in just one at a time. If they can walk and reach the dinner table, you can put them in charge of napkins. Make sure to keep the napkins where they’re easily accessible to your child. Their first attempt may be to just put a pile of napkins on the table. But practice with the Montessori Placemat and Utensils can teach your little helper what to put where. 🍽️ This simple activity shows your toddler that their actions affect other people and allows them to feel like they’re making a valuable contribution to the household. Explain to them clearly why their helpfulness is important. You might say, “When you set the napkins on the table, it helps everyone stay clean at dinnertime.” 😊Thank you @Montessori Inspired Mom and @holdingspacemontessori for sharing your little one’s practice with the Lovevery Montessori Placemat and Utensils!
