Yes! Yes! Yes!!!!!!
Here's to trusting the amazing depth of little ones and a true testament of what I do and why I really believe in respectful mindful parenting and learning through play!
Ella Grace learned to "write" her name at 2.5 years old through absolutely no coaching or formal "lesson plan"!
All I did was:
1. Provide the environment - seeing her name everywhere, talking about her name when it comes up, encouraging her when she's enthusiastic about recognizing letters while just out and about and allowing "learning" to happen wherever
2. Make learning accessible - giving her writing tools to explore, asking about her "work", letting her lead with no pressure or direction
We were sitting waiting for lunch and BAM! she wrote her name!
The beautiful part and the part we don't always see is that she's likely been writing her "name" for a while. By letting her draw and explore, it's just finally become clear to us what she's been "working" on the whole time even when we couldn't see it.
Don't discount the scribbles, mama.
Don't discount the hours in their playroom learning and exploring the way the world works.
Don't discount the six thousand questions and the why's and the how's and the repeating and the touching and the feeling.
Don't discount "play schools" as just play or that they won't learn to read or write if the teacher never sits them down with a book or "class" on their abcs.
The first person I texted was her teacher, I'm pretty sure you could hear my excitement halfway across the world. This was her celebration as much as it was mine because she believes too.
It's why we picked her school.
They "play" all day. In careful deliberate amazing "play" environments where learning happens through sensory boxes and songs, exploration and creativity. A place that trusts that little ones will become.
I'd love to teach you more about raising kind, confident, capable, respectful little toddlers...message me today to learn about our workshops or private sessions.
This could be your holyamazingahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! moment in Ippudo too! 😂🎉❤️
