Why 'heavy work' is so important for young children - - Episode 8 - Season 2

<p><strong>Thank you for joining me!</strong></p> <p><strong>Physical effort is really important for young children and in this week's Masterclass we discussed why it is so important and how we can facilitate this at home:</strong></p> <p><strong>✔ Why young children love and NEED real, hard work like this: pushing, pulling, lifting, dragging things that are often "too heavy" for them. (panting and being out of breath is good!)</strong></p> <p><strong>✔ The importance of this work for our child's development.</strong></p> <p><strong>✔ How we can provide opportunities for these experiences easily and inexpensively at home.</strong></p> <p><strong>✔ What size/shape of objects are the most satisfying for them to manoeuvre with.</strong></p> <p><strong>For more Montessori magic check out my book The Montessori Mission: a window into the diversity and richness of Montessori around the world, is available on Kindle and paperback from Amazon: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Montessori-Mission-Diversity-Wisdom-Reflection/dp/B0B5XCBM5G"><u><strong>https://www.amazon.com/Montessori-Mission-Diversity-Wisdom-Reflection/dp/B0B5XCBM5G</strong></u></a></p> <p><strong>Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children. &nbsp;I’ll see you there!</strong></p> <p><strong>*All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, see my IGTV @enrichingenvironments for the video with captions, also available on Spotify, ITunes &amp; enrichingenvironments.com</strong></p> <p><strong>😍🙏🏽💐</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enrichingenvironments/"><strong>#enrichingenvironments</strong></a><strong> </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enrichingenvironments/"><strong>#</strong></a><strong>montessorimission </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enrichingenvironments/"><strong>#</strong></a><strong>embodiedparenting </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enrichingenvironmen
