@coachmontessori: In Montessori, we don’t compare children. Not siblings. Not classmates. Not anyone. Because comparison doesn’t inspire children to do better. It teaches them that someone else is the standard they need to live up to. Instead of saying: “Why can’t you be more like your brother?” we simply acknowledge what we see. “Look at Jack. He’s using his utensils really well today.” The goal isn’t to make one child feel bad so the other can feel good. The goal is to recognize positive behaviour without turning children into competitors. You don’t need to put one child down to lift another up. Every child deserves to be seen for who they are, not for how they compare to somebody else. 💛 Comment GUIDE and I’ll send you my free guide. #montessori #respectfulparenting #childdevelopment #parentingtips #gentleparenting
