Episode 84 - The Montessori Sensitive Periods: Language

<p>In the third episode in our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ramadan2022/">#ramadan2022</a> special series on the Montessori Sensitive Periods, we focussed on language.</p> <p>Dr Montessori identified the period from birth to six years as a critical time in the development of language.</p> <p>During this IGLIVE session we explored:</p> <p>* How language essentially conveys joy, the words of joy we use in a child’s life are more important than the words of correction.</p> <p>* &nbsp;From gurgling 😍 to swearing 😬 , how language develops during the early years from utero to age 6.</p> <p>* how to enrich your child's language and communication learning experience, through the richness of vocabulary that you use.</p> <p>* The misunderstood toddler years, how a lack of ability to verbalise is the main reason for tantrums and physical behaviour in toddlers.</p> <p>* multilingual households. &nbsp;One person, one language is the recommended approach to cultivate multilingualism.</p> <p>We had some great audience questions too - thank you so much for joining me!</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Parts 1 and 2 of the Sensitive Period Series are Order (Episode 82) and Movement (Episode 83), and are available here on IGTV with captions, YouTube, Spotify and ITunes.</p> <p><strong>*All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, also available on YouTube, or listen on Spotify, ITunes &amp; enrichingenvironments.com</strong></p> <p>Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children. &nbsp;I’ll see you there!</p> <p>😍🙏🏽💐</p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/enrichingenvironments/">#enrichingenvironments</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/montessoriathome/">#montessoriathome</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/parentingmentor/">#parentingmentor</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/montessoriuae/">#montessoriuae</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.ins
