By Christina Clemer<\/p>\n

Montessori can be hard to sum up in just a few words \u2014it is a philosophy on education and child development that runs deep. It\u2019s a way of seeing the world. I think one of the easiest ways to get an idea for what Montessori means is to listen to the language that Montessori teachers use.<\/p>\n

Montessori teachers use language that respects the child and provides consistent expectations. Words are chosen carefully to encourage children to be independent, intrinsically motivated critical thinkers.<\/p>\n

Here are seven common phrases you\u2019d probably hear in any Montessori classroom, and how to incorporate them into your home life.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0\u201cI saw you working hard.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nThe focus on process over product is a key tenet of Montessori. We avoid telling the children \u201cgood work<\/em>\u201d or \u201cyour work is beautiful<\/em>\u201d and instead comment on how they concentrated for a long time, or how they wrote so carefully and their work could be easily read by anyone.
    \nPraising your child\u2019s hard work, rather than his results, helps instill a growth mindset where he believes he can improve through his own efforts.<\/strong>
    \nInstead of telling your child, \u201cYou\u2019re a good boy,<\/em>\u201d tell him \u201cI noticed you being kind to your little brother yesterday when you shared your truck<\/em>.\u201d This shows him you see his good behavior, without placing judgments on him. Instead of telling him, \u201cYou\u2019re such a good artist<\/em>,\u201d try, \u201cI noticed you kept working on your picture until you got it just how you wanted it.<\/em>\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. \u201cWhat do you think about your work?\u201d<\/strong>
    \nIn Montessori, the child is his own teacher. The teachers are there as guides to give him lessons and help him but he discovers things for himself through the carefully prepared environment and materials.
    \nSelf-analysis is a big part of that discovery.<\/strong>
    \nWhen your child asks you, \u201cDo you like my picture?<\/em>\u201d try asking her about it instead of just saying you love it. Ask her what she thinks about it, how she decided what colors to use, and what her favorite part is. Help her start to evaluate her work for herself, rather than looking for your approval.<\/li>\n
  3. \u201cWhere could you look for that?\u201d<\/strong>
    \nIndependence is another key value in any Montessori classroom or home. Our goal as teachers is to help the children do things for themselves. So while it\u2019s sometimes easier to simply answer a child\u2019s question about where something is or how to do something, we often answer questions with another question such as, \u201cWhere could you look for that?<\/em>\u201d or \u201cWhich friend could you ask for help?<\/em>\u201d
    \nIf your son loses his shoe and you see it peeking out from under the bed, try asking leading questions, rather than just handing it to him.<\/strong>
    \n\u201cWhere were you when you took your shoes off? Have you checked your room?<\/em>\u201d This may take a little more time, but it will be worth it when he starts taking more initiative and coming to you less.<\/li>\n
  4. \u201cWhich part would you like my help with?\u201d<\/strong>
    \nIn a Montessori classroom, children are responsible for many things, including taking care of their environment. Children often take great pride in this responsibility, spending time arranging flowers to put on tables, watering the garden, and happily washing the windows and tables.
    \nSometimes though, a job is just too big and overwhelming. In these cases, we ask the child how we can help. We don\u2019t want to swoop in and \u201csave the day,\u201d sending the message that the child is not capable, but we also don\u2019t want to leave the child overwhelmed.
    \n<\/strong>For example: If your child is tired, but needs to put her Legos away before bed, all of those pieces can be overwhelming. It doesn\u2019t have to be all or nothing though. Try \u201cwhich color would you like me to put away<\/em>\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll put away the yellow pieces and you put away the blue<\/em>\u201d to show that you\u2019re in it together.<\/li>\n
  5. \u201cIn our class, we \u2026.\u201d (Or at home\u2014 \u201cIn our home, we\u2026\u201d)<\/strong>
    \nThis little phrase is used to remind the children of any number of classroom rules and desired behaviors. Phrasing reminders as objective statements about how the community works, rather than barking commands, is much more likely to elicit cooperation from a child.
    \n\u201cIn our class, we sit while we eat<\/em>\u201d is less likely to incite a power struggle than \u201cSit down<\/em>.\u201d
    \nLike all of us, children want to be a part of the community, and we simply remind them of how the community works.<\/strong>
    \nIf you have a rule about walking in the house, instead of \u201cstop running<\/em>,\u201d try saying \u201cwe walk inside our house<\/em>\u201d and see if you get fewer arguments.<\/li>\n
  6. \u201cDon\u2019t disturb him, he\u2019s concentrating.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nProtecting children\u2019s concentration is a fundamental part of the Montessori philosophy. Montessori classes give children big blocks of uninterrupted work time, usually three hours. This allows children to develop deep concentration, without being disturbed because the schedule says it\u2019s time to move on to learning something else.
    \nIt can be tempting to compliment a child who is working beautifully, but sometimes even making eye contact is enough to break their concentration.<\/strong>
    \nNext time you walk by your child while he\u2019s focused on drawing a picture or building a tower, try just walking by instead of telling him how great it is. You can make a mental note and tell him later that you noticed him concentrating so hard on his creation.<\/li>\n
  7. \u201cFollow the Child.\u201d<\/strong>
    \nThis last one is an important one. It\u2019s something Montessori teachers say to each other and to parents\u2014 not to the child. We often remind each other to \u201cfollow the child,\u201d to trust that each child is on his or her own internal developmental timeline, that he is doing something for a reason.
    \nThis reminds us to search for the reason behind the behavior. It reminds us that not all children will be walking by one or reading by four\u2014they haven\u2019t read the books and couldn\u2019t care less about the milestones they are \u201csupposed to\u201d reach.
    \nFollowing the child means remembering that each child is unique and has his own individual needs, passions, and gifts, and he should be taught and guided accordingly.<\/strong>
    \nIf you can\u2019t get your child interested in reading, try watching what he does love\u2014if he loves being silly, it may be that a joke book is what piques his interest, not the children\u2019s classic you had in mind. Remembering to \u201cfollow your child\u201d can help you see him in a different way and work with him instead of against him.
    \nOne of beautiful things about Montessori is that it is so much more than a type of education\u2014it is a way of seeing and being with children. Even if your child does not go to Montessori school, you can easily bring the ideas into your home and watch your child\u2019s independence and concentration grow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
