Lately our mornings have been starting like this:
I don't know what the problem was exactly. The tantrums triggered me to give some thought to how we do breakfast. I've made some changes that require Bear to be more independent. We haven't had any tantrums since. This is how we do breakfast now:
Why didn't I do this sooner?!
I can't believe the difference this has made to our mornings. We have acknowledged Bear's ability to do simple things for himself and provided just the right level of challenge. We have gone from an hour of chaos followed by an hour of grumpy hungry toddler to peace. This isn't going to be the solution forever. What next? Making toast? Spreading butter? Making smoothies? I'll keep you posted.

Vicky this is beautiful! I recall you talking about the breakfast tantrums, I'm glad this worked.

My name is Vicky and I have 3 boys - Bear (10), Fox (8) and Wolf (6). Somehow I stumbled across Montessori and now my goal is to raise and educate my children with a Montessori approach in Dubbo. Archives
