Your child’s Montessori preschool is interested in more than memorizing facts. It provides a complete approach to becoming active members of first the classroom and the community they live in. Teaching the social skills your preschooler needs to learn is more a matter of guidance than education, and it begins at home rather than in the classroom Grace and Courtesy
Grace and courtesy are traits that are central to managing personal behavior. Your Montessori preschool will help children acquire the grace to accept compliments and praise while instilling in them the politeness to show gratitude and appreciation. Positive Examples As with other aspects of your child’s education, the precedents you set through your own behavior are the fundamentals that will be put into action. Let him see you displaying grace and courtesy, offering thanks for services and graciously accepting positive feedback as a matter of course. Communication The ability to convey concepts and emotions is vital in the development of social skills. Language and vocabulary are how people-- including young children-- are able to share their point of view, show interest, and let others know about the things which we would like to change. Including your kids in conversation and treating them with respect gives them the courage to speak up and helps them find the right words to make their position understood. Opportunity When you treat your kids with tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion you give them the opportunity to exhibit positive social skills. Keep in mind that children begin with a blank slate that is slowly filled with information. The opportunity to experience and influence is a necessary ingredient in learning how to interact with others in a positive and mutually acceptable manner. Ask your child questions and show an active interest in her responses. Show her that her input is important to you by discussing her comments and enlisting her opinions. The more you allow her to join in your daily social interactions, the better she will be able to manage her own responsibilities and obligations. Comments are closed.
