Thank you so much for making these videos. I got surprised with 2 babies under 2. I never really knew if I wanted to be a mom or not then bam I got two back to back. I’ve lived a very hard life of physical, sexual, and mental abuse/ trauma since I was two years old. So I never knew if I wanted children because of my own issues and I honestly don’t know how to mother children let alone babies. It’s been a huge journey and learning process for me. I just learned that my toddlers issues are coming from screen time. Unfortunately with me not having the just basic information on raising children they have been in front of a screen their whole life. Now it has only been educational things. So my almost 3yr old started reading at 1yr old, can count almost up to 100, knows some Spanish, and just basically knows everything already a kindergarten if not first grader would know, he’s also almost writing. His sister almost 2 speaks a large vocabulary can read some and count already, knows her colors and animals… but I started noticing my children NEVER sleep properly. They are consistently getting up through out the night and have VERY short nap times. Their tantrums are very long and extremely heightened, and they can’t really make eye contact or hold little conversations or communicate with me like other children, and aren’t ready for potty training. I’ve learned this is because of the screen time they get. I feel absolutely terrible. But they are SO young I can reverse this and help them get where they need to be. Videos like this are helping me SO much with coming up with exciting, creative ideas to get my kids off the screen and have fun, interactive playtime that benefits them wholly. It also helps me. With all the trauma I’ve been through it’s been very hard to connect with my children in a way that allows me also to feel comfortable. Between your video and 3 others I already have about 33 ideas I am going to implement. It’ll take about 4-6weeks slowly detoxing my toddlers from the screen, but I know we are all going to enjoy the activities and connection that’s about to come. Thank you so much for making a difference in our lives!! 😭🥰❤️🙌🏻

What a wonderful mother you are. You are raising your children right!! Love this! I did similar routines with my children and I now have happy functioning adults. Keep up the good work.

You have a wonderful baby, so many skills for his age!

I loved watching your video - it was refreshing to see another baby close to age as my daughter and the things we do are similar. I work from home and it is just us and I was not sure if the activity I have with her was good enough. I loved watching your son and your narrative was so peaceful and calm. I appreciate this very much.

Great video babe. I love the narration and seeing you with our sweet boys!

I loved your video and how realistic all this is to do. Thank you for sharing!

This video makes me so excited for things to come! My boy turns one on the 12th. Working on going down the stairs and using his fork now. Love getting more ideas. ❤️

I have a 17 month old and trying to incorporate Montessori in our home so this is very helpful!

Such a calm baby❤. My 15 mo is just unstoppable 😍

Beautiful, thank you!

OMG, what a lovely family and a great mom you are! It's the first video about Montessori routine I've watched without the gilt. Thank you for sharing!

This is so helpful! Thank you deeply for taking the time out of your busy mom life to help us struggling moms out there with ideas. You are doing a lovely job as a mom, I aspire to be like you.

Love your parenting

So helpful!!!!! BIG thank you!!!

Aw I love videos like this! These tasks seem just within reach for us vs some of the things the older toddlers are up to. It can be (ie it is) hard work to Montessori at Home, but taking a step back and seeing how much they accomplish is so rewarding. Thank you for sharing! (Also happy to hear the age of understanding that messes do need to be cleaned and not just made larger is coming soon).

And no screens! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Has he started to talk? Clear speech!!

What a lovely daily routine

God bless him and his family ❤❤❤Lucas is a blessed name ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for this.. i need to do more

So precious 😊

Great job 👏 as a mom!! I don’t think as parents we hear that Enough!! 👍

This is so sweet and he is so cute!

I loved this video! My daughter is about the same age (17 months). She also loves practical life activities and does not care for diaper changes! I'm so glad your little one is sleeping through the night. Mine is not quite there yet. I would love to hear more about how to got him sleeping well! Thanks for sharing this DITL!

Love to see other's routine. My son is 19m :) thanks for the lovely vid!

Very beautiful. God bless your family

Awww! Soo glad to learn alot from you and your son dear.

Smart baby

I really enjoyed this video!

I'm just commenting as I watch the video lol but my baby hands me her binky when she wakes up ❤ shes so sweet

That was so relaxing to watch. I believe your house is such a nice space for your kids to be.

I love your home space, your routine and your time together. What time does Lucas go to bed? I have a 13 month old boy and still on 2 naps. Thank you for sharing. Such an inspiration. 😊

Beaitiful routine.good parenting

ive been watching montessori videos lately & little did iknow was already incorporating them before i even looked into montessori. most videos ihave seen my son already does most at 15 months old

Great vidéo

I am looking for A Montessori way of raising a baby, (17 months baby) I'm glad i find your channel... Really a big help... ❤️❤️❤️

Hi my baby is 24 months and I am enjoying this video.

I absolutely love this video my son is 20 months old now, I wish I could afford all these things to help my son develop, I watch this and genuinely feel like a terrible mum, I feel like I’m too overprotective, I’m saying no a lot and not knowing how to redirect correctly, he isn’t speaking at all yet which worries me I feel like I can’t communicate effectively too him, the tantrums have come on thick and fast and I certainly haven’t handled them well at all on many occasions I’ve just made them worse, you’re obviously doing an amazing job hats off to you although it makes me quite emotional how much I’ve clearly held him back

Hi... this is the first video I've seen from you... I really liked it, maybe I try some of your routine (however it takes some time for me, currently "only" 12 weeks pregnant 😊 ) . Sending you greetings from Germany 🙋‍♀️

Where is that gate at the bottom of your stairs from? I love it!!!

Hi, Tara! Thanks for sharing your video! Your bathroom stool looks really nice---what is it and where did you get it? Been looking for one for my toddler!

i love the baby gate you have at the bottom of the stairs! is it the compression type?

Love your house, playroom set up, your narration and how calm your children are! I've been wanting to do a similar routine with my 18 months son, however i find it difficult to keep his attention for more than 5 minutes on activity or at least keep him calm enough to stay (with me) in his play room and not be running around the house. Lol If you have some tips to share on that i'd be really grateful! P.S: I love his high chair. Would you mind sharing from where you bought it? Thanks a bunch!

❤❤❤❤

Nice video, your voice is very calming and your son is doing amazing !😇 My daughter is 17 months old and we try to do things the Montessori way as well, but I find it quite difficult as she doesn’t walk yet (but speak all the time !) Can you share any tips for a similar routine but with a non-walker please ? It would be very helpful. Thank you 😊

Great video! My son is turning 18m soon and I want to get him more involved him his routines. What high chair is that?

❤

Lovely video ! Where is the high chair from tysm !

This is great video! Love to know what brand of toothbrush baby use?

You are doing a great job. How adorable the boys are. When did you start doing these activities ? When did the little one start to recognized or response? such as picking up his outfit? I have a 15 months old ( Adjusted) he can follow instructions but he does not do much yet.

what is the ball/ramp suction toy you have in the bath tub? looks so fun!

Where is the magnet toy from?

When is the time for cooking?

Nice routine. Is the snack the last meal of the day or he had dinner?

Goals

Hi, what books are in the babies library? Other than Find Fergus of course 😄

Okay, how do you get your baby to brush his teeth so well?!

I will start back making oatmeal 🙂

Lovely times! Question: is he too attached to his paci?

Tips for brushing teeth??? My 18 m old always cries and refuses (always has since starting to try and implement brushing around a year old)

What table and chair is being used during snack time?

Hi, I was wondering if you ever have teeth brushing problems and whether you had any tips around it ? Our 18 month sometimes open wides beautifully like your LO but is however going through a stage of only being willing to do himself.

What book were you guys reading at bedtime? It looked great! Thank you in advance.

The crib sleep sack and pacifier are not Montessori

How did you teach him to just pick one option (when he was getting dressed) because whenever I give my 19 month old options she always tries to pick both 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

My 18 month boy only knows his way to mother's breast lol 😃

How did you get him to sleep thru the night. Did you sleep train. I still bf my 17 month old and she wakes hourly in the night, never slept more than 3 hours. I would never leave her to cry tho so sleep training isn’t for me but I would love some tips (unless he’s a naturally great sleeper lol) x

Where did u bought the slide

My son is 16 m and will not let me brush his teeth. How did you get him to let you do it? He will happily chew on it on his own but wont let me brush.

TBH to all mums. As long as you love your child and don't neglect it's all right. Don't compare.

But this is your second baby though, the second child will learn faster coz he/ she learns from his/ her sibling. How about your first child? When you have the second child, you will do everything what suit with the first child typically! *justsaying

My question is. Why is an 18-month old using a pacifier? My little girl never did that and I am very thankful

I don't really get what's Montessori about it.. helping your children to do things on their own is a normal thing, isn' it, both for the children and the parents? For me, this kind of life seems totally normal.

Did he started talking?

My entire life doesn't revolve around everything I do with my son 24/7. Like.. How do you get anything accomplished if you're only parenting every second that they are awake?

What time does he fall asleep?

Can you please share the oatmeal recipe ? Thanks 🙏🏻

I'm probably behind on my son using utensils

Honest diapers are the best...

How many words can he speak at this age ?

make sure that oatmeal is organic

Sorry if this sounds harsh but hes doing what 95%of 1/2 year olds are doing with good parenting

Video is good, but i thought you gonna teach us Montessori methods, how child make those things independently doing, instead you are showing daily routine of your child, please take into consideration that something useful teaching other moms , thank you

... Ji TT hu hu

Choosing their own clothes at this age?

I feel like a failure after watching this 😢

Babies are not ment to sleep alone. It always makes me sad to see this. 😣

18 months with a pacifier? Terrible

Montessori? Excuse me, i dont want to harm by askinig a simple question: does he even speak or babble?
