Anybody else here without kids yet but just trying to do some advanced research on how to raise kids as amazing, intelligent and confident as Mia and Kylie someday? ❤️❤️
Same! I know I want to go into education someday, but I have trauma from the conventional school system here in England (intense pressure and stress from tests and assessments from a young age, being told that I was better than everyone else because I was a year 'ahead' in core academic subjects, as well as the fact that teachers failed to notice that I had/failed to act on my clear symptoms of childhood anxiety/depression, which I am still paying the price for at the age of 20), so I've been learning all I can about the montessori method of teaching. I love helping children learn, but I refuse to become a conventional teacher if I can help it (obviously available jobs and financial security will have an impact). We don't have many montessori schools (plenty of daycares though) in the UK, but if I ever get a job in one, I'll be living the dream!
@@stitch32145 public schools could produce such happy well rounded kids if only more Montessori methods were used by teachers! I hope you achieve your dreams soon!
@@AmandaLaVlog Thanks Amanda! And yeah that's true. The crazy dream I have right now is to open a public Montessori school for 0-18 either in my home town or my university town, so all kids would have an equal opportunity to it. Montessori in the UK is typically very expensive: we only have 1 school that teaches 12-18 year olds and the fees are £16000 a year!
Yes! I am not quite ready yet (financially and health-wise) to have children but I have my undergrad degree in Psychology and I’m fascinated by Child Psychology, development and how parenting styles can impact development. It’s so fascinating and I LOVE Ashley and Mike’s parenting. I love how they communicate and include their kids on their team. It differs so much than how I was raised and my impressions of parenting as well as my future mama goals. I feel like research, reading and understanding should be done before even considering having a child and I am all about the preparation! Lol I remember the book that Ashley recommended too I think it was “Unconditional Parenting” that was recommended everyone should read before having kids and legit i feel like if people put effort into learning about how they can best support the human they raise, we would see so much less abuse and neglect and more patience, love and understanding in families. I’m so happy I found her channel and learned more about Montessori!
Hot tip: it definitely helps, with younger/inexperienced children, to portion out ingredients in advance, especially seasonings and sprinkles. Partly to make sure they don't go bananas adding any particular ingredient, but it also helps to reduce oopsies and mess. The first time I made cookies with my goddaughter (she was about 3 at the time), she got hold of the sprinkles container and emptied the whole thing onto the counter top and floor! 😝
totally feel that! 22 year old here, wondering how the girls manage to crack the eggs open perfectly without getting pieces of the shells in there every other time
It was so thoughtful and sweet of you to remember and include those with dietary preferences/restrictions and make note about the adaptability of your recipes. Can't wait to try these veganized!
My 23 month old helps me with baking banana bread, making roti dough and rolling the rotis, making chutneys in the blender (we r Indians if you didn’t already guess), grinding coffee beans.
I was so hyped for you to do this video. I was just thinking a few days ago I wonder if she posted a video on making meals with her girls, and the process of safely having them help in the kitchen. My little one just turned 1 on the 23rd. She's very hands on, and currently is okay with watching but often reaches out to stir or pull things into my mixing bowls. Thank you for the recipes. I now feel more comfortable about how I will slowly start to include her as she grows.
My daughter was helping really nicely cutting up jelly the other day, and then she sneezed all over it. Because it was for guests, I had to throw it out 😂
I’m pretty sure they do that at fast food restaurants or any other place where you don’t see how your food is being prepared…and unfortunately not knowingly we eat it
We bought a Little Partners stool for the kitchen for Christmas so I have started allowing my 20 month old to help. One tip I have from the first few attempts... get all the ingredients out before you get them started!! It is terrifying to leave her alone on the stool for 5 seconds while I run to the pantry quick to get the flour.
WARNING: Anyone who's impatient or fastidious should not try this without a time machine and a space suit/hazmat gear! LOL. Actually, just the boy scout motto "Be Prepared" applies. Do it as play and not when you actually must have 2 dozen cupcakes ready by a 4pm high tea party. You chose a lot of good examples that make it fairly clear what Kylie and Mia can do.
Ashley, you and your family are incredibly beautiful, and behind all your knowledge and hard work I can definitely see and feel your love for what you do and your kids. I hope that one day, when I have children to educate and love them as you. Until then, I am watching your videos and even without kid I am re-educating myself and get motivated by your videos to live a better life. You are doing a whole lot for a change by everything you do and most importantly by sharing. Thank you! Much love to you!
Me a nine year old - Can somone please tell this to my mom 🤣🤣. Jokes apart she has been so encouraging . She never discourages me. Allows me to use a knife, peeler, greater and even the stove. She even let's me fry. Allwoys me to make whatever I am making without any distractions. Eg - babana bread, french toast. Because of her I am so indipendent that when she is gone to have a bath and I need more rotis, I can just turn on the stove or ask my father to do it and make the roti ! I totally agree
The toddler I babysat loved to make anything with green beans, because he got to snap them in 2 pieces (after I cut the tops and tails off). This is a really great thing for very young children because it doesn't involve any sharp objects, just a bit of fine motor skill, but they lear quick. He got so good at it that I struggled to keep up with cutting XD.
I just love these ideas! We bake and cook together all the time but I always feel a little stressed. We definitely need some smaller tools! We are going to make mini pizzas tonight! Thank you!
Mia and Kylie get smarter and more beautiful every time we see them! We're mixed here too and our daughter looks like she could be from the same family as your girls. It's so nice for her to have kids who look like her to relate to. Really appreciate your channel.
So love this! I appreciated even the basic recipe of eggs and toast because some of us just don't know where to start. I just loved watching Kylie and Mia prepare these dishes; you and Mike must be so proud!
Loved this video, thank you for the recipes! My 3 yo helps me in the kitchen too. A recipe she can do with a little help is blanched broccoli in oyster sauce. Just blanch the broccoli florets for 4 mins then drain and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with oyster sauce and sesame oil, mix and serve. Having cooked it herself makes veggies more enjoyable to eat!
My daughter loves being involved in cooking and baking. She really enjoys scrambling eggs, pouring, mixing and watching the cake/pie/etc. baking in the oven. I allow her to help whenever I can. She actually sometimes says that she wants to make a smoothie or something like Kylie and Mia :D
I think the video is more about showing how kids can be involved in cooking - there was lots of things going on with the eggs - cracking, mixing, spreading butter on toast etc.
I like how you always talk about expectations in almost every video. I have a 2-year old girl and she only starts to continuously do certain things that I expected were so easy for her a year ago. Though she also surprises me a lot with things that I would not expect her to do. For example only now she continuously realized that her roly-poly toy gets up and other toys do not, she did not care about this toy since she was 6 months old.
No kids yet but I have one recipe that I will definitely use in the future, it's pretty much the perfect kid recipe😊 2 bananas, 1.5 cups quick cooking oats and 1/3 cup chocolate chips - mix all together, portion out onto cooking paper and bake for 15 mins!
Oooh! Black olives are delicious on pizzas! My favorite smoothie right now has cherries, cocoa powder, and almond butter. (I also add in leafy greens, riced cauliflower, and fiber/protein powders). Today, I left out the almond butter and topped it with salted chocolate grain-free granola. Strawberries, banana, and peanut butter is also a great smoothie combination (or sunflower seed butter if allergies are a concern). [And I love adding greens, cauliflower, beets, and carrots to my smoothies for an extra boost of veggies]. For burrito bowls, there's a REALLY simple recipe that even a young toddler can basically do almost completely independently. All you do is throw chicken breast, salt, pepper, and salsa (I like salsa verde) into a slow cooker. Then, when it's cooked, you shred the chicken (a kitchen-aid is great for this). It's great for burrito bowls, quesadillas, eggs, and more. (You can also add canned black beans and canned/frozen corn into the mixture). Slow cooker recipes are GREAT if you're just getting started with cooking with your child. One of my favorites involves adding chicken, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice into a slow cooker (you don't need to measure anything- just dump it in!). After it's cooked, you top it with crumbled feta cheese. Another one is a peanut butter chicken recipe (that I actually have in my slow cooker right now!). This one involves some measuring and stirring, but after you mix up the sauce ingredients (peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, garlic, chicken broth) you just pour it over the chicken and cook it. [And all of these recipes are great for a child who is either newer to some of these cooking skills like chopping (or isn't quite ready for them, but wants to get involved) OR for a child who really wants to cook a dish without any assistance and needs something super simple.
This is possibly my favourite video you have done. Me and my children enjoyed watching it and found it all very inspiring. Thank you for bringing such a simple joy to be so accessible ❤
Loved this! Our 11 month old loves seeing what we're doing in the kitchen but we have to hold him so he can see. Definitely going to look into one of the stools or start using his high chair and I look at ways to start including him.
Ashley - can you film a full cooking session one day with Mia? This video had lots of helpful stuff, but Kylie is already so good at this! She’s more like the after photo. I’d like to see more or less the beginning stages (though Mía is not a beginner) of how you get a child to develop all the kitchen skills. I’d love to hear what you’re saying to her all throughout and just sort of take notes on the process. Thanks!
love your channel, it’s so helpful to see how montessori actually works day to day at home ♥️ if i may just make one suggestion, I know you do make lots of southern inspired and asian foods, but may i just suggest making as many different cultural cuisines as possible! it completely changed my childhood to be exposed to as many cultures (especially through food!) as possible. love your channel, love from me and my fiancé ♥️
Thanks so much for sharing this! I'm looking forward to trying some of these recipes with my toddler. I see that Mia sometimes uses different tools than Kylie. Wonder how you handle a situation where Mia wants to use Kylie's tool which isn't safe for her yet, or do something in the cooking process that isn't safe for her yet. That's my struggle in the kitchen currently. Either my 2 year old gets frustrated OR she's on the verge of crying because I spoke to her firmly (about not being able to use my sharp knife, for example, even though she has her safe one she can use). Any tips, or better yet is there a video where you discuss your approach to anything like this? Much appreciated!
You are so amazing!! Your videos are so helpful and well thought through!! Keep it up 👍 I love all of your recipes! They’re so simple and remind me of recipes I made with my mom and sister when I was little :):) I think it’s so important to see that cooking with your kids doesn’t have to be complicated! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello, may I ask where the learning tower is from. I am looking for some time for but cannot seem to find it. PS I love your videos very much. Such hard work you’re doing…
Super super useful and informative video❤️. Love the way you three go about doing these recipes so casually and calmly. One question- how often do you offer desserts, cookies and other sweet things to kids?. Do you just go with the flow or restrict them if they sometimes overeat
I am trying to figure out at what age my child might be capable of using a pan on the stove. Would you say sometime around 3 or 4 years old? Or just play it by ear with my child.
I've started doing pouring with my 14 month old in the kitchen but he wants to do it over and over again. Do you have any tips to try to limit to only what's needed without tantrums but gently?
My 21 month daughter is becoming much more interested in cooking with us and she is very much into getting her hands all into everything and then tasting (the cracked eggs, milk in her little cup). Most of the time she fusses very loudly when we try to calmly redirect her but she continues so we take the cup away/take over scrambling the eggs. Is this a phase that she’ll grow out of/is there a better way for us to handle the situation? My main concern is salmonella poisoning. Haha
Hi Ashley. I am from India, and we practice co sleeping with my 3yr old. However I do want her to sleep before we do, and she seems to be afraid of sleeping alone. Can you please do a video on toddler fears and scary things and how to remove them?
Sounds like this is a combination of developmentally normal things for toddlers: fear of missing out, and fear of separation from parents. Child will let you know when they're ready for sleeping in their own bed. So you bedshare? If this is the case, and if your bedroom is big enough, you can start with a small toddler floor bed in the same room to get pre-schooler used to the idea of sleeping on his own. Just keep being there for him or her during the night. It is not uncommon for children this age to experience bad dreams and night terrors which is why child wants the nighttime parental physical closeness. If toddler bed is beside your bed, you can compromise by holding child's hand while they drift off in their own sleeping space. Other than that, it's just going to take time and patience as little one's brain develops more. Hope you're all safe over there during this scary time. My thoughts are with you and all of India. Curse covid for ruining so many lives.
Hello I like your videos ... i am a big fan. Don’t change anything . I just havé one question what is your montessori tower for Mia? Thank you Love love love
Do you have any tips for teaching kids how to dump things from spoons? Every time I hand my daughter a cup of cat food or a spoonful of something to dump, she just instantly goes to put it in her mouth and she loses her marbles when I stop her. She's 15 months
One vote for going back to opening in front of the kids shelf. The book background is too serious. My son and I still love your videos and seeing the kids.

Overnight oats are great to make with little ones because you can do a little assembly line where they get to select their flavors and fillings!
Great idea! 💕
Yes! "Invite them ro help." Is always my answer when parents ask me how to "keep my child busy" during meal prep. And, biting of the tongue....🙂!

all those eggs on the floor.

That's so funny.

My favorite smoothie right now has cherries, cocoa powder, and almond butter. (I also add in leafy greens, riced cauliflower, and fiber/protein powders). Today, I left out the almond butter and topped it with salted chocolate grain-free granola.
Strawberries, banana, and peanut butter is also a great smoothie combination (or sunflower seed butter if allergies are a concern). [And I love adding greens, cauliflower, beets, and carrots to my smoothies for an extra boost of veggies].

My 21 month daughter is becoming much more interested in cooking with us and she is very much into getting her hands all into everything and then tasting (the cracked eggs, milk in her little cup). Most of the time she fusses very loudly when we try to calmly redirect her but she continues so we take the cup away/take over scrambling the eggs. Is this a phase that she’ll grow out of/is there a better way for us to handle the situation? My main concern is salmonella poisoning. Haha
At what age can I start this? My daughter is 15 months old and I don’t know what cooking activities are appropriate
Great recipes thank you ☺️
This was awsum...👌 ...will try with my kiddo..🙂

Could you please share the link for the toddler kitchen stool?
At what age do you start ? My son is 15 months old. Can I start now?
How do you keep them from eating the ingredients as you're making the meal??
Hi Ashley. I am from India, and we practice co sleeping with my 3yr old. However I do want her to sleep before we do, and she seems to be afraid of sleeping alone. Can you please do a video on toddler fears and scary things and how to remove them?
Sounds like this is a combination of developmentally normal things for toddlers: fear of missing out, and fear of separation from parents. Child will let you know when they're ready for sleeping in their own bed. So you bedshare? If this is the case, and if your bedroom is big enough, you can start with a small toddler floor bed in the same room to get pre-schooler used to the idea of sleeping on his own. Just keep being there for him or her during the night. It is not uncommon for children this age to experience bad dreams and night terrors which is why child wants the nighttime parental physical closeness. If toddler bed is beside your bed, you can compromise by holding child's hand while they drift off in their own sleeping space. Other than that, it's just going to take time and patience as little one's brain develops more. Hope you're all safe over there during this scary time. My thoughts are with you and all of India. Curse covid for ruining so many lives.
They are so adorable :-)

Do you have any tips for teaching kids how to dump things from spoons? Every time I hand my daughter a cup of cat food or a spoonful of something to dump, she just instantly goes to put it in her mouth and she loses her marbles when I stop her. She's 15 months
One vote for going back to opening in front of the kids shelf. The book background is too serious. My son and I still love your videos and seeing the kids.
How did you guys meet?
