Episode 69 - Cultivating child-led holiday traditions in your family

<p>For Top Tip Tuesday &nbsp;this week we spoke about the holiday season! &nbsp;Inspired by our conversation on the Montessori Show last Friday with @jeannemariepaynel and @themontessorinotebook; this week for Top Tip Tuesday let's discuss simple holiday traditions that we can start with our children from the early years. &nbsp;</p> <p>We discussed Santa, do we pretend he's real, do we say he's not?&nbsp;</p> <p>How do we maintain the magic of Santa whilst staying aligned with our principles of being honest with our children? &nbsp;</p> <p>I feel that we can really get ourselves unnecessarily tied up in knots about the 'right' thing to say about Santa. 🤦‍♀️ &nbsp;</p> <p>The Christmas season is a multi sensory experience for us all, we can enjoy the magic of the sights, sounds and smells for what it is in the moment. &nbsp;If we meet our child where they are, at their level of understanding then we won't go far wrong.💖&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;✨🌲💓 &nbsp;</p> <p>Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children. &nbsp;I’ll see you there! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>*All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, see my IGTV @enrichingenvironments for the video with captions, or or listen on Spotify, ITunes &amp; enrichingenvironments.com &nbsp;</p> <p>#enrichingenvironments #montessoriathome #parentingmentor #leadfromlove #montessorichristmas #montessoriparenting #montessorieducation #montessoriholidays</p>
