I’m 20 right now and my husband and I agreed that when I’m 23 we can start trying to get pregnant. So here I am, preparing 3 years in advance for my future toddlers! :)
Better now than when you're actually pregnant! It was the wrong time to try and study anything-pregnancy brain and mom brain are too real 😅
meeeeeee
i ain’t havin kids for like 7 years but i work at a daycare so this helps in the meantime!
@@MariaandMontessori sooo true
You’re going to be a great mama!!!! ❤❤❤
SAME! 🤣🤭🤭
It is amazing when one day they are not interested, then another day they've mastered it 💕
this is so true!
@@hol8787Isn't it? Sometimes I feel guilty because I missed a milestone 😂
I was always worried watching my brother grow up. He was actually behind compared to his peers. Flash forward to highschool, somehow he was a straight A student, graduated with a semester of college competed and overall thrived. Moral of the story, be patient. It’ll work out.
Math in Montessori is what absolutely sold me on the method. The trinomial cube blew my mind! I had a very traditional experience with it, enjoying it when a teacher was passionate about it, and indifferent when the teacher was too. My brother entered Montessori absolutely not interested in Math and only gravitating towards language. But with the help of the teacher in the class and the Montessori materials, he became so passionate about it! Now he is in high school, his hobby is playing with formulas in excel (😮) and is interested in accounting or programming in college. Oh and for fun, he still likes to sit around and read books or research random facts. His Montessori upbringing is so very evident!
Hugs amazing woman, thank you for the video, it's awesome. I cant even imagine putting one foot in front of another, especially publicly. You're going through so much, but still giving of yourself to help us be better parents. Thank you, THANK YOU ❤
your show is so pure. its my go to for a pick me up and of course fun and education. thank you Hapa Family
I never realized how Montessori my kindergarten class was until I started watching your videos a few months ago! From the shelving to wooden materials to resolving taking turns with other kids by myself, everything had a structure that made it so organized. It was so appealing to me when I was starting to learn English at 4/5 before I had to move. I’m turning 24 next month and have no kids but my mom babysits toddlers so those Montessori & Me tracing boards would be a great start for them to get comfortable holding a pencil. But at the same time...Haha, those boards are calling to me.
How come someone dislike this video, it was really informative and helpful
I was just wondering how to start on counting as my daughter has been showing an interest, so this video is God sent! (Right down to the disclamer that I shouldn’t be worrying about it) My daughter is Mia’s age and enjoys reciting the numbers so the early counting activity ideas are great!
Today me and my cousin were discussing about online home schooling plans available in India for 1.5+ year kids, concluding that "Let a child learn on their own pace." We actually have kids of Kylie and Mia ages and were surprised to see parents rushing out for these plans, forcing activities of writing/reading in such a tender age.
Give a slice of everything to taste, let them choose what they wish to have. Is what we wish to do.
Real object that they can manipulate using their hands. Maybe starting with dough that can be separated? ie. "You have 1 dough, make it 2." And so on so forth.
I love that you and Mike have found a way to mesh your individual strengths to help your girls and other families! Maybe one day Mike can go full time "Montessori and Me". Is that a goal or does he love his current job anyways? Thanks for all your advice. My 2 year old is going to LOVE his DIY sandpaper numbers and letters! ❤
It's important to become fluent in basic arithmetic, even, just to live life and perform tasks. I recall doing things, like baking pies to learn fractions, was often a sore point for fathers who considered it too new age-y. Math and language skills are crucial to all learning and they need to be learned from foundations all the way through to reaching for the stars. There are good and bad ways to learn, but there is no short-cut to getting the foundations solid and building upon them. There are no tricks for just getting through a test and not remembering what you were supposed to have learned. But there are ways to learn smart and have fun. It is a huge gift from Dr. Montessori that she gave us an outline of when children's brains are ready to address certain topics, concepts so that we are not trying to force them to learn something for which they are not yet ready nor are we neglecting stimuli appropriate to their level of development. Congrats on the handsome new product. And thanks for the links to it.
I just was looking for videos on this and thought to myself man I wish Ashley had something like this she’s great 😁
Thanks for the video.. I really need it as I'm tutoring 3 kids 3-5 years of age. It seemed somewhat difficult to introduce numbers to these little guys but yes, you're ideas are really helpful. And the diy sandpaper number cards are just one of the things I really want to do with these guys. Thanks again..
Thank you, just right in time. Today I was looking for some tips how to start numbers with my toddler and here you come 🙂
Just wanted to say, that we appreciate you and your family so much. And my kids love you 💕 ❤️ 💗
I LOVE this bring me number game! I did that with learning the alphabet with sticky notes with letters on them and running across the room to me. She knew the ABCs by the time she was 14 months because of this activity, I don't know why I never thought of doing this with numbers! :D
Hi. Thank you making this video. Hope you are doing well.
Hi Ashley, thanks for another great video! I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a video about the differences/similarities between Montessori and RIE approaches? I’m a part-time reliever at an ECE centre and a lot of the teachers really love RIE and dislike Montessori, which is confusing for me because my understanding of the approaches is that they’re quite similar. I would love to have it laid out in a video so I could discuss with them the similarities/differences a bit more clearly!
I would love to see a video introducing simple addition and subtraction concepts!
I totally agree with you younger children learn through play.
Though Montessori method for Maths is really great, I think we can always add something "new". For me it was a sort of a revelation the KUMON method. Their worksheets are so wonderful, and the kids just ADORE it (proven by my own daughter!). In the USA there are a huge range of these worksheets, and it is awesome! You can choose exactly what you child needs at the moment. (it starts for kids from 3 yo to... depending on the country where you live). And it is not only about Maths 😍
Thanks a lot for such a detail instructions for each activities.
Excellent ideas as always. My 5 yo daughter is going to love the scavenger hunt. Thank you for the free printable! I also got some good ideas for my 2,5 yo son. He just started counting to himself in his play with all the wrong numbers. It's very cute though ☺️
I also love counting things out loud when we go through our day. For example when unloading the dishwasher or counting the stones that they collected outside.
The tracing board Mike made is beautiful!
Love your fantastic ideas how to bring counting and numbers into the home. Both of our girls attend a Montessori pre-school and they learn incredible life skills. Absolutely love this approach :)
My sister (3 yo) always counts steps on stairs, I think, it also may help
You are the best Ashley thank u so much!
Can you please make a more advance Video for mathematics teaching !
I have been waiting for this video :) my 32 months old son started showing some interests in numbers! Thanks Ashley
Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas and the Number Scavenger Hunt printable with us!! Will definitely use these ideas with my daughter.
Another great video! I find these tutorials of activities so very helpful. Thanks for the work you do to put this out there for all of us 💕
This video could not have come at a better time, my daughter will be 2 next month and she is counting everything, the flowers in the garden, the steps, her toys. Now she only knows in order up to three, but she says random numbers anyway, it’s so funny. 😀
Great content!! I love these videos from you. My daughter is 22m and just beginning to be interested in counting. Can't wait to incorporate some of these easier activities!!
Thank you for this video. Looking forward to doing the activities with my littles!
Thank you Ashley, it was informative and helpful as always. 💕 I have a question and i think most of the parents come across this problem. Does Kylie ever lie? If she does, what do you do? What is the right approach? What is the right respond? Is there anything to do? Can you make a video about this matter? Or you can just mention it in one of your videos if it is something short. I really don't know what to do. :( Thank you so much for everything 🌺❤
The best thing you can do as a parent is know that children do lie, it is their way of testing their imagination and our limits, and, in turn, to know that your child may indeed lie. The children who we noticed tend to lie the most are ones whose parents were hesitant to believe anything other than their child's view of the story, which meant the action was never addressed at home. Sometimes lying is intentional, sometimes it is an over exaggeration that got out of control in their little minds. But what is most important, is to have a conversation about this with your child often. You can do so with stories like the Boy Who Cried Wolf, you can do so with incidents you see come up in real life...talking about what lying is, what consequences it has, and how we should speak the truth even if it is difficult is the best way to manage this behavior. And if you have this conversation after your child lied, make sure it is not about punishing or humiliating them, but simply a teaching point. And always end with an affirmation that you still love them. That they are not bad, but that behavior itself is what is not good. But also, as always, modeling. If kids see us constantly making small lies ("I'm on my way!" But we aren't even in the car or "I can't make it because I don't feel well" and they see or hear us say we feel completely fine) , they will take that as a cue that lying IS ok. It is hard for them to differentiate a small white lie from a "bad" lie still, so we have to be really careful with what we say and do in front of them too.
@@MariaandMontessori Thank you soo much! I really appreciate it! I didn't know how to bring this topic up and what to say him. I think i can start with a story book as you said. It is a simple but great idea. How come i couldn't think of this all this time. Sometimes i just feel stuck and can't think straight. Thank you 🙏 Yes, modeling is absolutely one of the most important things in being a parent. We already don't lie. Thinking that this is a developmental stage made me relieved. Maybe after reading the book and talking about lying, when he lies again i can give the story as an example and try to talk about the matter. I hope it goes well. I am going to give it a try. Thank you again for your help 😊💕
@@elifdemir6127 of course! I think just like hindsight is 20/20, someone else's questions and concerns have a clearer solution than our own! It also helped to see this in a class. When you see all children, all the way from "follows all the rules and is the model student" to "tests limits and requires daily reminders" lie, you HAVE to come to terms that almost, if not all, will try it. And really, the big difference between those who continued to do it vs those who stopped is how willing the parents are to accept that yes kids lie and we need to be ready to tackle it. Sounds like you're on the right path. Best of luck to you in this journey! I hope it goes well 🤗
@@MariaandMontessori Thank you so much 💕🙏
Perfect timing! Such a great video. Thanks Ashley❤
Yay! I’ve been waiting for a new Montessori at home video! Thank you!❤️
I want you to know, that Iam praying for your womb to be strong to carry full term...I prayed for my bb 9yrs Iam 48 I gave birth to my first healthy bb boy. Miracles do happen MAY tHe LORD Jesus Christ strength you n your Family

Your videos are soooo helpful!!! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for another great video!
Thanks for the video Ashley, as usual it's so interesting & helpful. 💞💞
It’s been a long awaited video for sure! 💖
Thinking of you during this time ❤️ Thanks for sharing your content.
Ah I’ve missed the activity ideas vlogs. Thank you 🙏
Wow, loved it!! Will do
I always look forward to your videos!
Just wondering what is the use for the mat under the activities introduced?
That is a Montessori rug. In Montessori learning environmental, children are free to work in the space that is comfortable for them, be it at a single table in a chair, a larger table with a friend, a floor table, or just on the floor. Some works do require the use of a table and chair just to make sure the work is balanced, but typically the floor is always an option. But to still provide a guided and controlled space that separates the chd's work space from the rest of the class, a rug is used. Some works get quite large (continent maps or the bank game), and multiple rugs will be used. In essence. the rug mimics the table top. So the child can still set up his or her work correctly. In a class, this also signals to other kids that this space is occupied for work, and children are very careful to walk AROUND the rug. Never on it or over it.
Hi Ashley! I was wondering when you think is the best time to introduce the tens board to my kindergartener…
Hello! New subscriber here! Your channel is very helpful! I always worry about my sons development he’s currently 21 months old! I’m going to try some of the tips you have suggested! Thank you 😊
This video was so necessary for me, I've NEVER been good at anything that has to do with numbers, so the math part is kinda daunting when it comes to teaching my little girl. Thank you!
Btw, my little girl who's almost 1, is a big fan of your's! I usually watch your videos in the evening so she gets excited when she hears ur voice.
Hi Ashley I love live your contents and I have been following you for little over a year now. I started my own at home Montessori based on your tips and i have to say it is getting challenging with my 9 month old mobile baby 😄. I have few question though in this regard. So i have an activity shelf set up for her which she loves but our problem is she pull out the stuff, plays for like a second (for example the shape puzzle- she will pull out the pieces and that’s it) and she will move on to pulling out another activity. Which to me is fine. Just like the Montessori approach suggests I follow her lead however, I want to make sure I am doing this right and not setting up a bad habbit. I mean it in a way that when she tries pulling out new toys or books and then pull some more out she is creating a pool of books and toys and also a mess. So how do I teach her that play with few and then we place them back to being out some more? Please help. Also, I clean up every single time after she plays so that way when she comes back she sees everything is clean and placed to where they belong but I am just concerned on what if she just makes mess and never learns to clean up afterwards. Is she a little too young to understand that may be? Am i worrying myself for no reasons. Thank you so much.
I personally don't think they're too young to catch on to the concept of clean and messy, but at this age, it is not easy to control that for them. Especially once we get to the trajectory schema! We had to teach the concept of putting works back before getting a new one even to the 3 year olds in our 3-6 class, so I'm not expecting my 11 month old to really do that just yet. What I did find helpful, right at that 9 month mark, was to start cleaning in front of her, as she looked on, and even asking to help. That was right when she started being interested in containment-putting things into other things. So I would start putting things back in a basket and ask her to add to it. Then walk the basket back with her.
Did she end up pulling it out almost immediately after half the time? Yeah...but I've noticed her being more and more selective in her works recently and not just pulling everything off of the shelves too. And at the end of the day, we do as much of a clean up as we can with her, and then daddy and I will adjust it during the night so it is pleasant for her to return to in the morning. But that way she has helped throughout the day and even the big cleanup at night, and can slowly start understanding that routine.
May I ask you how you made these. I need to make some changes to the specific objects you used.
Love it! Thanks!
Hi Ashley! Another amazing video :). Wanted to ask where did you get the mat from which the girls are doing activities on?
Does it matter to use the peg number wooden boards or the ones without the dots and just open trays below the number?
Can you please add links for the activities? I love the counting/ peg board activity.
There are links in the description box. :)
Omg great video x extremely helpful x teaches actually how to count not just memorise the numbers 🙌
I’m sure you might often hear that children might not learn consequences with this style of learning where you don’t point out their mistakes. Is there a particular age that is appropriate for them to learn that they will encounter people pointing out their mistakes? Especially where our children will go to a regular school
Phenomenal! Thank you for this! I just love the natural approach to activities with items and materials around the house. This may be a silly question (and maybe other parents can relate) but how young can you start these activities? My 20 month old has an insatiable appetite for learning, particularly math and language. She knows all her triangles, rounds, parallelograms and polygons! Well before my desire to teach them lol. We plan on sending her to a Montessori preschool at 3yo but I worry we’ll teach incorrectly or too prematurely and ruin the Montessori magic at school. We have sandpaper numbers and letters but I do recall your recommendation in prior videos to not replicate materials from a Montessori preschool if you plan on sending your child to one. It’s an awesome tough spot to be in but she’s at this tender age and I want to approach academia appropriately. Thank you!! As always, you’re fabulous!! ❤️
Hi Haniyyah! I think I forgot to actually say this in the video (I had meant to), but usually around 18 months is a good, average time for most children to begin with 1:1 correspondence. Of course, if they seem ready sooner, then certainly give it a go!
@@HapaFamily awesome! I’m totally diving in! Thank you!!
Can you share your bilingual experience in the household? What are your views on this? Any resources that you use? As I notice in one of the vlogs that Mike read a book in Mandarin, Chinese. I'm Malaysian, Chinese Australian and my partner is from the UK - we communicate in English and my Mandarin is verrrry basic but I love to incorporate Mandarin in conversation for our kids in the near future.
She did a video not too long ago on bilingualism! And there ar e a lot of wonderful and helpful comments there! Any amount of language exposure is better than none! I speak Russian to my daughter and my husband speaks Korean. My Korean is SUPER basic, but we used that to communicate to each other in front of her too, to help with her exposure to Korean. So we are basically doing one parent, one language, which is a common and simple way to introduce another language :)
@@MariaandMontessori I love that! My partner and I communicate very very basic mandarin when we are ordering food or using manners. It's so nice to hear that. I will have to hear about her viewpoint on bilingualism!
Great video!!!! Lots of inspiration!!!! Thank you! 👏
Just a little question. Why always craftsand? wouldnt normal sand (e.g. for a sandbox) be totally ok?
I prefer the craft sand because it is finer in texture (and available in other colors if you wanted to use a different color) but, otherwise, you can def use sandbox sand! 🤗
❤
Hi. Thank you so so much for the video. I have been looking for this for a long time. So grateful to have found you! I had a doubt, in one to one correspondence , do we count with the kid? For instance she is putting 6 bean bags int the muffin tin, so do I count till 6 with her? Thank you so much for your time. God bless your family.
You could model that a couple of times but I wouldnt do it each time, especially if you notice the child switch focus and look at you. You could invite the child o specifically count with you, or ask them at the end how many they counted or ask if they can show you how they count. Try different approaches and see what your child takes to best!
How often do you repeat activities?
Any advice on puzzles? My two year old daughter is going to be there July. She has been working on 4 piece puzzles for awhile. I got her Melissa snd Doug ones, she got bored of that so I bought her a bigger 4 piece. She hasn’t been super interested in doing it. I hope she progresses past the 4 piece soon because it says that three year olds can do up to 15 pieces! Maybe she will have an interest in a few months. She gets frustrated fast and gives up, she can do it if she kept trying.
Don't worry. Young children develope with leaps. Sometimes they suddenly master things. Let her develope on her own pace. Also don't compare. My daughter enjoyed small puzzles and the ones with knobs at 2.5. My sister did 100 pieces at 2.5 ...
@@marie-louiseweerheim4224 did your sister end up being a brain surgeon?
Can u please send me the link
Hi mam is home ciruculum included in ur course???
Whats the age to introduce this to kids???
Have you done how to teach your toddler to read?
Yes a while ago
What about the red rods or the number beads? Do you not use those?
I do ☺️ I was trying to stick with activities that don’t require specialized Montessori classroom materials for this video, since this is a “Montessori at Home” series (and it wasn’t a homeschool-specific video). 😉
How do you even get your kid to do the activities? My kiddo sees a set up and wants to destroy it lol
Cn u gv me suggestions to make baby talk..
Most babies will learn to talk by hearing adults talking and singing to them. They babble when they're starting to be able to make sounds, and then they will start putting those sounds together into words.
If you think your baby is taking a long time to learn to talk and you are worried they might not learn, take them to see their doctor and tell the doctor about your worries. Some children have disabilities that mean they take longer to learn to talk, and they might need extra help from a special teacher. If they do have a disability and need extra help, taking them to a doctor is important becuase doctors find out why the child is taking a long time to learn, and what things could help them.
Talking and singing to your baby is important. Try to talk to your baby as much as you can, and sing to them every day. If you are worried they are taking a long time to learn to talk, take them to a doctor to find out if they need extra help.
I would like to have a daughter interested in these amazing activities you talk about in your videos... but her attention span is.......zero second... I'm patiently trying everything with no success. I'm seriously jealous.
Please create a curriculum 😅😭
How old is she?
You can find counting cards with cartoon characters on them at the dollar tree

You are not looking well.. Are you ok ??
She had a miscarriage not long ago, she shared it briefly in her last video. Wishing her the best ❤️ Grateful to have access to examples of wonderful parents.
Well, I’m still going through a miscarriage right now, although I didn’t think I looked physically unwell..
