Can be surprising to learn that the Montessori principles can be applied to babies, as early as possible, here are some Montessori principles so as to increase communication with your little one.
-When you're going to change your babies, tell them first before handling them, once it's becoming an habit your babies may even raise their head as to show they're ready.
- Ask your baby questions about what she hears & what she sees.
- Let them know what is happening, why & when (do so while using rich words).
- Use rich language as well when describing animals, flowers etc
- Repeat the sounds your babies make & try to respond to their attempt to communicate.
- Read books, of all kind, either simple black & white ones, musicals or ones with beautiful pictures.
When you offer a toy or give an object to your babies observe how they respond to them in order to see what they're trying to master, thus enabling you to make activities that meet their needs.
For example if your children are grasping at your bracelet try to propose more grasping opportunities; if they try to pull up, set up a space with more pull-ups opportunities.
Other examples of grasping: Offer wooden rattles or give them wooden spoons.
