                    .
                    .
                    .

                    In Parent & Child sessions, parents gotta be mindful that it is impossible
                    to run longer Montessori time as compared to the weekday sessions. It
                    is more of an introduction to say one new material/apparatus each wk
                    so that you'd be yearning to do and learn more the following week. šŸ˜„

                    During the individual mat activity time though, parents can assist the
                    children with the materials the children select from the shelves. As with
                    observation during such pgrms... again, the time constraints may not be
                    able to permit extended observations of the children as again compared
                    to the daily sessions.

                    As with potty or nappy, children still undergoing toilet-training may use
                    the pull-up-pants to avoid accidents until they are much more confident
                    and can eventually just wear briefs. Go to the toilet before session starts,
                    to avoid going in the midst of the sessiion.

                      BUDS!!!!!!!!!!! :?: Are there any book like \"Dummy guide to Montessori\"???

                      Materials - wise, I was surfing those China Taobao website (yeah, really bo-eng) and I saw those Montessori equipment (1 big box)... and the SMH forum does sell as well... Will those suffice? It's around $200++.. Cheap or not? Not the $1000++ jul04 mentioned.... šŸ˜‰

                      And I was wondering, can I say Montessori is a learning methodology? As such, we are able to teach various other subject matters such as Chinese or any other language, science, etc using this methodology? :roll:
                      Buds ah..... can help me with my above questions about the made in china Montessori things? Or like everything else, it's simply better to get the real stuff??? :roll:

                        I'd get the real stuff.


                        Later toxic then how..

                        I'm not ngiao, just careful..
                        Especially after so many incidences which are not coincidences.. :roll:

                        I don't only teach my own kiddies..
                        But i have students who are other people's children as well.. :love:

                        That said, when i was only teaching my own kiddies.. i didn't mind
                        the cheaper ones to use for my own children, buuutt that was b4
                        any lead scare or other toxic scares.. For homeschooling, can go
                        for it. Dun buy a lot but try one or two products first.. If you find
                        the quality's good, then go ahead if you wanna get more. šŸ˜‰
