Our Easter activities: Holi inspired activity: **CLOSED** While social media is overwhelming with all the beautiful posts of Shelfies. A gentle reminder that Shelfie is not the only place where the child learns. Playing and learning is beyond the shelf. The environment where we want them to explore and play should be inviting. “Help Me to Help Myself” 🏝Day 3: NATURE INSPIRED ACTIVITY 🏝 📚 3 Day Mini Series - Schemas Before planning for a baby I used to read few blogs now and then, but seriously started reading some books to understand and be prepared to welcome and provide the emotional and physical support for the little one. Here are top 5 of my favorites. One of the jobs I don’t like is folding clothes which is one of the reasons I keep my closet minimal. And I totally love to see myself in the same clothes for different occasions and years apart. Especially if its mom’s saree there are are many stories tied to it and you feel mom’s hug whenever you drape the saree. @3mm.montessori explains beautifully with a pie chart where she shows what child learns or engages at the shelf is the smallest portion of all. We spend a great deal of time and energy on preparing Montessori-style shelves, when that is a small slice of the child’s day. As we are talking about introducing solids, it just reminded of this event “Annapraasanna” which we celebrate the huge milestone of transitioning from exclusive breastfeeding to solids. We are from the culture where we celebrate every milestone of course I didn’t all authentically but few as much I could do. Keeping the region’s beliefs aside the main reason it was introduced in olden days was to remind parents especially mom to cherish every moment n celebrate it which not only helps to lift the mood, break the routine and move out of post partum depression if any. Every milestone has specific food related which is definitely for the baby but for adults at home especially mom who is breastfeeding, tiring with the new routine and with her post partum body who can treat herself with those little treats. Encouraging self feeding is one of the areas where we can foster independence.
