In the US, we need to support parents and mothers first in the form of family leave before they can even consider focusing on education.

yup! all I get is 6 weeks at my current job- Large corporation. Sad! My friend in Europe gets 11 months.

I am a teacher and I wish all parents listen to these tips and stop focusing on the results putting too much pressure on their kids to get the highest scores while neglecting the first years.

Learning to accept yourself so that you could model the same for you child is the best take away for me!!

Mother of five here: wooden toys and low hooks: great ideas. Also plastic plates and cups in low drawers or shelves so they can get out their own dishes. Mine can set the table by the time they're 3 or 4, and make their own cereal and PBJs by that age as well. Water cooler: not a good idea to have inside unless you want to be mopping up water all day. That 1 year old turning off the water when the glass is full is the exception, not the rule. Kids love playing with water.

Yeah, but I think that what she meant by learning self control, as in they will be playing with the water couple of times before they know what it’s for and it’s what you drink when you are thirsty and it is not like other toys. So I think kids who play with water are kids who got acquainted with it by themselves a little late than the kid’s age on the video.

I'm seeing in the video that there was only enough water in the water cooler for that one glass. I'm thinking through the water cooler idea because I really like it, but I agree that my son would be more enthralled with the ability to initiate the stream of water rather than pouring himself a glass (for a while at least). I'm thinking the parent has to monitor the baby's use and exploration and add water to the cooler when they're seeking it out? Or do you create a set up where the runoff water falls down into a bucket under the cooler? I want this to work!

I had no idea that numbers and letters on baby toys were more of a marketing invention than educationally based. I learned a lot from this. Great talk!

It is!

Executive functioning promotes concentration, perseverance and problem solving. Prepare the environment for your child to support this and Be the Best role model to show confidence by acknowledging your mistakes and Excitement in learning.

The most important thing you can give a child is encouragement and confidence. My son is 1 and has both wooden and battery operated toys. I have come to realize he try new things and learns so quickly is because he encouraged too. When he learns something new he is praised. Scientists are now learning is what infant, toddler, children and Young adults are taught that impacts them the most.

Approach your kids with curiosity rather than expectation. Thank you! Will keep in mind

Such great information. I wish I had access to this education as a teen mom. I had my first right after high school. 6 years later I’m having my second child and I feel so much more prepared and capable to provide my children what they deserve.

Totally agree with this! I have been helping the infant care in our preschool and I would see our babies choosing empty tissue boxes and recycled bottle shakers over battery-operated toys! Seeing them interact with these materials also allowed me to see how children can show their creativity at a very young age.

This is great! *hint* if water cooler isn't your way to go, keep a small pitcher with an open lid available at reaching height for the child. When buying toys/supplies for your child, look for things marked "montesorri" CHILDREN DO AS YOU DO, NOT AS YOU SAY. if you're going to tell them, do it yourself too!

I don't have any of those, but both have the same purpose. MontiKids are 100% Montessori materials and Lovevery are inspired.

The short answer: Let your baby/toddler play with wooden toys or simple toys that lack any electronics or flashy lights. Give them simple exercises that teach independence like pouring their own water from a water cooler.

To be fair, I agree with everything she’s saying. HOWEVER, not all parents can afford even what’s she’s saying. I was a teen mom. I didn’t have a home to do all of this in. I struggling in my mommas house with my baby. So it’s a beautiful concept but unrealistic to some low income families or diff situations. And I checked out the company she owns. The prices aren’t low income friendly either.

Oh man, I've messed up big time. My kids are 4 and 6 and I'm just now trying to learn how to better help their brain develpoment. Looks like they don't have much chance of increasing much.
