Overview
This free of charge programme will provide parents and professionals with practical parenting strategies and advice on the home environment. The programme is delivered via six online sessions and focuses on one of three stages:
- Preparation for Parenthood (conception, pregnancy and the early weeks)
- Children from birth to 3 years
- Children from 3-6 years
It is open to any parent or professional based in the UK, though we are particularly interested to support those who cannot access our other courses for financial reasons.
The next workshop within this programme will explore the child from birth to three years old. The young child is capable of independent activity right from the start. To nurture and to encourage this allows for the fullest expression of their potential – a true aid to life.
Knowing the how and the why will help us as parents and carers to recognise and so cultivate this natural tendency for independence from the very beginning. This will give us the tools to foster a truly collaborative relationship with the child in our care. Knowledge of child development will be covered as it will illuminate important considerations when we perform the daily activities, such as dressing, eating, toileting and sleeping; important rituals that given time, will grant us simple ways to adopt Montessori principles in the home.
