Question
What are Shari Stamps's signature techniques in Montessori and RIE parenting?
Answer
From what I've shared, I incorporate a mix of different philosophies in my parenting approach, including Montessori and RIE. For Montessori, I focus on providing developmentally appropriate toys and activities for my children, like the @montikids box I got for my daughter Nora. I introduce one new toy each week to stimulate her learning and development.
As for RIE parenting, I'm still learning about it and have ordered books to dive deeper. However, I already practice some aspects of it, such as fostering safe independence. For example, my kids started climbing chairs and counters at 12 months and they pull up a chair if they want to do something at the counter. This encourages their autonomy and involvement in household activities.
Remember, every family is unique and what works for one may not work for another. It's all about finding what fits best for your family's needs and dynamics. What specific aspects of Montessori or RIE parenting are you interested in?
