Small changes, great results!

We recently considered sending Erik to a Montessori Kindergarten, but for certain reasons decided against it. He will be returning to his beloved Ulla at the German Kindergarten next week (3x per week, 9-12:30).
Not wanting to give up on the Montessori idea altogether I did some reading and implemented several ideas around the house and in our daily life – with very positive results already!
A lot more independence, greater appreciation and better as well as longer use of toys and altogether more balanced and relaxed kids!
Here’s Lilly this morning, happily on her mat and busy with her toy and book.
At the same time Erik was deeply lost in playing LEGO while listening to his CD.
And they love playing together (without any interruptions). New favorite is their spot under the braai where they hide away with their EtchoScetches.
A few minutes ago Erik broke into tears when Lilly didn’t want to play with him in the playhouse anymore. Now he seems to have found something to lure her back inside because they are both back inside chatting away.
