Montessori at Home: Rhythms & Routines
Everyone's rhythms and routines are going to look a little different, as they should.
Routines are not a tight schedule to adhere to, but rather repeated patterns that are predictable and reliable, and work together to form a greater rhythm.
Take some time to observe. Which routines feel effortless or easier and which ones are more draining or challenging? What works and what could use some adjustment?
What parts of your days are more stable or non-negotiable? Naptime, work, school, meals, outside time, bedtime, etc. all serve as anchors in developing rhythms and routines that work for your family.
Again, take time to observe. Ask your child for their thoughts on the routines and ask questions about what they are observing.
You'll want to incorporate routines and procedures around preparing and maintaining your space, whether you are bringing in some elements of Montessori or setting up a designated work area. Much of what is needed is already inherently part of Montessori practices, with many ways for your child to be involved in the process.
Looking at rhythms and routines is just one part of Montessori at home, but it's connected to all the rest. See how all the parts come together in my Montessori at Home Planning & Preparing Checklist. It's totally free!
