Episode 76 - Nurturing a strong sibling bond

<p>Developing a deep bond between our children is one of the most rewarding and sometimes tricky to navigate areas in parenting. &nbsp;</p> <p>During this Instagram Live we talked about nurturing the precious sibling bond from the start; from the language we use and the support we offer to each child as they navigate their place within the family. &nbsp;</p> <p>We focussed on three key areas:&nbsp;</p> <p>1) Not forcing siblings to 'share'.&nbsp;</p> <p>2) Nurturing non-competition by not comparing one to another.&nbsp;</p> <p>3) Highlighting to each sibling the importance they have in the other sibling's life. &nbsp;For example for a newborn and a toddler, we draw to the toddler's attention that baby is always watching and listening to them.🤩</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;We looked at how Montessori principles underpin the values of mutual respect and understanding, and offer a framework for parents that can be beautifully applied in the home environment. &nbsp;</p> <p>Part 2 of this special 2 part series on Sibling Bonds will be focussed on managing sibling conflict and will be on Tuesday 22nd February at 8:30pm GST. &nbsp;</p> <p>Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my online Montessori Parenting Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children. &nbsp;I’ll see you there! &nbsp;&nbsp;*All podcast sessions originally recorded on Instagram Live, see my IGTV @enrichingenvironments for the video with captions, &nbsp;YouTube, or or listen on Spotify, ITunes &amp; enrichingenvironments.com &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>😍🌈🌟 &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>#montessoriparenting #montessorisiblings #siblingrivalry #montessoriathome #leadfromlove</p>
