Let’s talk about one of the best things about toddlers (aside from their adorable vocabulary and unmatched snack enthusiasm): they love to help. Truly. Whether they’re dragging a broom twice their size across the floor or insisting on stirring the pancake batter, they’re all in.
To them, daily tasks aren’t “chores” - they are important jobs! Real, grown-up work. Work that says, you matter and you belong here.
But if your once-eager toddler has morphed into a bigger kid who suddenly seems less thrilled about helping out, you’re not alone. As children grow, they become more independent and focused on their own interests. It’s totally natural and actually a beautiful sign of their development!
Still, that doesn’t mean the desire to help disappears. We just have to nurture it a little differently. Here are some simple, Montessori-inspired ways to keep that helpful spirit alive as your child grows...

Rooted in the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, this parenting approach emphasizes respect, independence, and hands-on learning tailored to your child's natural development.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the core principles of Montessori Parenting and how you can incorporate them into everyday life at home.

The Montessori approach to this developmental stage emphasizes the child's learning process over traditional training methods.
