These are some basic problems which every child faced in their homes. So children
need a proper place where they can learn, play and get experienced.
How Do I implement:
I am a mother of two kids. I am already trying and practicing few activities from
Montessori Method of learning, achieving an astonishing results and development in my
kids. As kids start learning very after from their birth and for their better growth,
development and education its our responsibility as a parent/elder to provide them
healthy, effective and fruitful environment. When environment meets all of the needs of
children, they become, without any guidance by the adult, physically healthy, mentally
and psychologically fulfilled, extremely well-educated, and filled over with joy and
kindness towards each other. Children who have better experiences at proper time
develop more effectively as compared to other who has less opportunities and
experience.

children experience the same sensitive periods (e.g., a sensitive period for reading), the
sequence and timing vary for each child. One role of the teacher is to use observation to
detect times of sensitivity and provide the setting for best result.
THE PREPARED ENVIRONMENT:
Environment is extremely important at any level of the development of child. Children
learn best in a prepared environment, a place in which children can do things for
themselves. It makes learning materials and experiences available to children in an
orderly format and they can easily access them. Freedom is the essential characteristic
of the prepared environment. Since children within the environment are free to explore
materials of their own choosing, they absorb what they find there.
FOCUS ON INDIVIDUAL CHILD:
Teachers should focus on individual child as each child is a unique entity. Each childs
learning progress, growth, understanding, achieving a mastery of particular skill and
requirements are different.
POLITE AND REASONABLE BEHAVIOR OF TEACHERS:
Children learn a lot firstly from their mothers then from their teachers. The behavior and
attitude of the teacher should be polite, reasonable and helpful towards children.
PARENTS TEACHER MEETINGS:
There should be a close interaction between parents and teachers. Parents should
know the progress, work and activities of a child so that they can practice same in
homes as well if they want.
