My 1 year old Montessori Toddler Essentials!

[@sillygoosegoose]

i adore jessica being like "my under 2 year old contributes to the cooking, but only scrambled eggs so far, we haven't moved onto anything more complicated" so casually. i've nannied children 10 or 11 whose parents won't let them near a stove and i've never seen then contribute to the cooking. good job mama, he's clearly thriving with his practical life learning. montessori is awesome honestly.

[@aryore2411]

My parents didn't teach me how to cook until I was like 15, among other interesting parenting choices, they did their best with me growing up but I am so jealous of Jessie and Claude's kid lol

[@westzed23]

I watched a sister-in-law only teach her kids how to cook and clean when they were in their teens. I told her that our Mom taught us along side her when we were little. Clearing dishes then washing them. Get things for cooking then making dinner. Waxing the floor by sitting on the polisher; that was fun. She said that they don't do it right. I told her that you do it with them until they can do it on their own. It doesn't have to be perfect. When their one daughter moved out she had to learn to cook, clean, and do laundry. She's an intelligent woman but couldn't see the benefits for her children.

[@hannahk1306]

I think it's so important for kids to get involved with various tasks around, including cooking, from an early age. These are important life skills that sadly many people don't seem to learn early enough and then struggle with or are embarrassed that they can't do it later in life (particularly students living away from home for the first time).

[@gariden]

my mum took absolute advantage of me wanting more money when i was about 12 by having me cook dinners for the family - something she could only do because she’d already taught me how to cook. honestly a wonderful period in both of our lives, she got slightly less housework and i got a ps3… eventually.

[@thecolorjune]

Growing up I felt bad because I was never included in doing household “life activities” and so when I reached my teens and my mom started expecting me to do things she never taught me, I felt really bad. For years I thought I was just bad at chores and hated cooking. Now I’ve lived alone for two years and I love chores and cooking, even though it’s been a huge learning curve. I still have more skills to learn but I find it really rewarding.

[@freakishuproar1168]

As a massive geography nerd, it melted my heart to see Rupert organizing the animals onto their respective parts of the world :3

[@cathannah7860]

When my daughter was small we were poor as church mices, so I took any small boxes: pasta, cereal, etc. and covered them with construction paper. She loved those blocks...

[@krose6451]

The love kids and cats have for boxes should never be underestimated

[@hannahk1306]

​@@krose6451There's a picture of my brother as a toddler eating his dinner sat in a cardboard box 😆 Nobody can remember how he ended up eating his dinner in the box, but he clearly enjoyed it. We also used to enjoy using the saucepans as instruments, whilst mum was busy in the kitchen. Who needs expensive toys?

[@jk-jl2lo]

this is actually a really neat idea, i remember having a set of hollow cardboard building blocks meant to look like they were made of colorful bricks and they were definitely bought like that. i don't think it would've made a difference to me as a toddler if they were homemade. that's a great way to save some money as a new parent because kids are so expensive!

[@neenoo8693]

i'm following a german mother who's doing gentle parenting with her children and i'm always so surprised how mature her oldest child behaves. he understands so much, they both apologise to each other, they understand each other and of course there are still frustrating moments, but i wish more people would do this instead of screaming, ignoring and punishing their children.

[@allisonkemper5533]

Pretty sure my kid advanced his fine motor skills almost solely because he wanted to put together duplos and duplo train cars. It’s awesome that the tricycle could help your son learn to walk!

[@curiousfirely]

I love the little bag! As a teacher, I truly appreciate kids who have been raised to know they have stuff they are in charge of. At that age, it's the little things to play with. But it will transfer up when they need to bring their shoes, lunchbag, etc.

[@aud2d2]

i don’t have kids currently, but i have spent a few years volunteering with the 1’s and 2’s at my parent’s church. one of the most amazing things to see is these kids grow up and watch them figure out how things work. you can almost see the little gears in their brains turning as they learn new skills. it’s truly amazing to see!

[@_andrewvia]

You are already a source of detailed information on the history of and current issues facing LGBTQ people, as well as disability, because of your own experience plus a wealth of research. Now you have become a source of excellent suggestions for people who might want to raise their child in a Montessori environment. You just get more awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@braria9855]

The two are also very interconnected. Being a parent to a disabled child is a lot about preparing the environment and setting them up for success! The same should apply for adults. Instead of fighting our impairments, why not embrace them and set ourselves up for success?

[@starsapart9311]

It's fun watching Rupert grow up with a two year lag from my own kiddo, who was 2 when he was born. I remember using quite a few of these items! Good memories. ☺️

[@alleemaria97]

Jessica, could you and Claudia at some point make a video about screen access for Rupert ? I’ve seen some super distressing documentaries on how addiction to screens (phones, tvs, Netflix etc) can really slow down a child’s development. Talking then with colleagues who have babies they told me that they struggled getting the child away from these screens as they themselves have the strong habit to pull out their phones 24/7 to do almost everything or even just scroll when bored. Is that something you guys struggled with, especially as social media people ? :)

[@bmcdermott]

I would also be very interested in this topic!

[@samanthab3292]

It's wild how different each kid is. My first two were walking at 10-11 months, my third is 15 months with still no interest of walking anywhere 😅

[@Elyza404]

Same with my brothers kids, first two started early but the twins had no need to learn since they had too much entertainment from the older siblings to have to start walking or talking since the older kids would interpret for the twins what they want and help them get where they wanted :D

[@hannahk1306]

​@@Elyza404This was my issue too - I was the talker and my older brother was the walker (he also knew how to use the VHS player and the computer at a very young age!). Apparently I used to sit on the floor and tell my brother which video I wanted him to put on for me. 😆

[@yazmina2031]

My little brother took 3 years, he's double jointed in his hips, so he couldn't figure it out. One day he just got up and that was it. 😊

[@JB-bm1to]

My older kids (15,12,11) all started talking before their 1st birthdays. Like at least 4-5 words. My 14 month old twins REFUSE to say anything besides Mama/Moooooom & Dad. Kids are so weird and it's so cool watching them grow differently.

I'm not a native speaker and I'm running in four hours of sleep so I'm watching with subtitles, and even with them, when LEARNING TOWER was said and was appearing in my screen, my brain recognised as LEARNING TOWEL, and I was pretty confused when the step up tower appears.

[@flora4349]

This was a really lovely video - Rupert is a very lucky toddler! I grew up with parents following Steiner Waldorf education which is all about the development of the self as well as a place in the larger community. It has a lot of similarities with Montessori and you might find it interesting if you haven't looked at it already. There are also lots of lovely toys that correspond to the education.

[@kadiveykate]

Thank you for the info. Motor skills in kids varie. I was walking very early but my sister wasn't walking until almost two. My parents used to say it was because she would point at something & I would get it for her so she didn't feel the need to walk until we stopped that.

The Babybjorn potties are so cute, but I noticed a few issues with them. The seam can pinch them and the hight isn't adjustable. We got a cheaper one (that also has arms so he can lift himself on and off!), the hight is adjustable, and the seam is such that it cant pinch. $$$ isn't always better

I got my godson a little wooden play town for his second birthday and it was a huge hit. It had a mat with roads and sidewalks and crosswalks and came with little wooden vehicles, buildings, trees, people, and animals. As a toddler his main interest was driving the cars down the road, but as he got older he could set up a little town and act out scenes. (the buildings were a school, shops, fire station, police station, etc. and there was a recycling truck, mail truck, police car, and a tractor pulling a trailer that the cow or horse could fit inside.) I don’t know if they still make this set as this was several years ago, but it was a Melissa and Doug set and really nice quality.

[@davenport7321]

I’ve seen book shelves designed for those type of board books that maybe wouldn’t normally fit on a regular shelf.

[@marabanara]

We went with padded portable toddler toilet seats and sturdy steps, for our kids when they toilet trained. Sat them on there from about 20 months, and took them into the loo to watch how it was done. Both my girls toilet trained at exactly 2 years old, and I chose the all at once “three day potty training” method- which realistically takes more like a week. Each time I took a week off work to stay home and toilet train. My kids chose some nice undies and toilet seat, so they were excited beforehand, and I gave HEAPS of positive reinforcement. And yes, bribery 😂 Don’t underestimate how far a toddler will go for a single skittle or m&m 😂 The first couple of days are obviously messy, but doing it all at once reduces confusion as there are no more nappies- we dramatically sent them away to the donation bin (an unopened packet of course) so they could see we didn’t have any more nappies. (And yes of course I had hidden some away, and in fact we switched to pull-ups/nappy pants for night time, but the kids self trained for night time anyway quite soon after day training.) This all worked but yes it was upsetting especially for my more sensitive eldest child who was very upset the first few times she started passing urine through her new undies onto the floor, while I snatched her up and ran to place her on the loo quickly enough so at least a few drops made it into the bowl. The more we made it, the greater the reward and after a few days it just clicked. This all worked though because they were developmentally ready and able to control these functions. Yes it was hard work and I worried it was traumatic at the time, but actually it was wonderful to see how proud they were of themselves when they got it. Both kids only ever had a few accidents after this, with my youngest occasionally having damp undies from not wanting to stop playing and go, or being in a deep sleep and then racing to the loo. Entirely agree it’s all about making it easy and comfortable for the child to go on their own, but the thing i unfortunately see a lot of is children with vulvas ending up with irritation or worse from either not wiping thoroughly enough, or doing so back to front. At age 2, their arms are just too short to do this well, so I help them wipe at home for a long time, but also ensure they know how to do it the best they can when at kinder/childcare.

[@katwitanruna]

I never did learn to ride a bike. I can’t balance on one. My mother said I had issues with a trike which may have been due to my ligaments being on the wrong side of my knees.

[@LadyBoldly]

I can't ride one either because of balance and it is so much harder to learn as an adult

[@krose6451]

Unlike swimming, I really dont think it's an essential or necessary thing to learn. If it's something that you really feel is necessary however there are different kinds of bikes and seats, which I've been told make balance or the movements easier than traditional bikes. Personally I would like us to break away from the idea that its something every kid needs to learn, but I know Im very bias given the number of kids I knew who got seriously hurt on bikes and the fact that the only major bones I broke as a kid I broke when my dad was teaching me how to ride.

Leaving a comment for the algorithm

[@catbeara]

The bag suggestion made me laugh a little because both of my parents and I are EXTREMELY forgetful (I think all 3 of us and 1 of my brothers may have ADHD, but regardless we forget everything) so I was always banned from taking a bag anywhere as a child, or in fact carrying things in general, because I would lose them and then I would cry and become inconsolable, and neither I nor my parents would be able to remember when I last had them. So. No bags for me. 😅

I've been doing research recently about crossing the midline, and have noticed that children who didn't crawl (or at least not for a prolonged "normal" period) have more issues with crossing the midline than those who did. I implore anyone whose child didn't crawl as a baby/before walking, get your child crawling now!! it makes such a big difference to their gross motor skills & dexterity in the long run.

[@ravenhawkins991]

I don't know if this is the case with Rupert, but from the context of this video it sounded like he started sitting around 11 months and went straight to using the tricycle to walk.

[@katwitanruna]

The book rack is nice but doesn’t have enough room. My kids had their own bookcases and at toddler age it had two shelves full of books.

[@krose6451]

For when the kid isn't quite there yet with motor skills it does the job though, and not only will it help with them picking up but also with seeing more of the cover to recognize the books available. The kids I nannied for at two often couldn't recognize and find the books they wanted when they were crammed together. And nothing says you need to be limited to one rack. You could have several for the most favorite books and ones you are encouraging them to take intrest in along with a shelf for extra. Given how many kids get turned off reading by frustration or lack of access Im all for whatever makes it easiest for them to get at the books they want, when they want them.

It won't be useful until around 7-8, but get a giant old chest and fill it with books as soon as possible. Make a show of locking it up when you finish a book from it. Then, he'll be desperate to read whatever is in there. The works of Victor Hugo, wierd old existential sci-fi, nonfiction like Freakonomics or Cows, Pigs, Wars and Witches (a fascinating read about why different cultures have certain taboos and others don't), etc. Basically, the kid will be brimming with curiosity, but you tell him he needs to prove he can read certain books or do certain tasks before ypu give him his own key, because you want to make sure he's grown up enough. Kid will be consuming books by the dozen to get into that.

[@krose6451]

From what she has said, he's already very into books, so he doesn't need encouragement. Im also not sure how this kind of tactic lines up with the parenting style they are aiming for.

[@brokenfoxproductions]

All of this is really nice and it seems like you a lovely family but I really wish that people would stop acting like Montessori is actually better than literally anything else. I know a lot of people who have been raised in Montessori and have gone to Montessori specific schools and they still end up being functionally illiterate and completely ignorant.

[@adelined]

I didn't really get the vibe that she was saying montessori is the end all, be all for education. it's the way they're choosing to raise their kid so of course that's the lens the video will be through. of course all education systems can fail students, but why would she bring that up when talking about toy essentials?

[@kpwxx]

Any system for learning is designed to be just that - a system for learning that you can use to come up with a learning environment. In practice, all homes and most learning settings use a mix of things, even if they have a strong core of a specific ethos, both because it will reflect what works for them and the children and because it's more practical to have some flexibility. I think Jessica and Claudia definitely recognise this, and they've talked about how they don't "follow" everything Montessori rigidly, it's more of a guiding principle, and it's what works for them and might not suit everyone.

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]
