Montessori pedagogy is based on the child’s needs to stimulate their autonomy and development.
According to Montessori pedagogy, each child is unique, has a personality, qualities, difficulties, a rhythm of his own life, as well as his wishes and his bedroom, should be a personal space that meets his expectations. Check out these tips:
Everything should be based on freedom, children like to move around their room, their toys should be within their reach and you can use them however you want, but you have to order them when you finish using them.
To benefit your sleep, the crib can be replaced, when your little one is 9 or 18 months old, by a mattress on the floor. The child will lie down when he feels tired.
Clothing must be accessible so that you can dress alone and develop your autonomy. A small coat rack allows you to easily grab a sweater or coat.
The play area can be represented by a carpet and baskets with some toys. A work corner can also be integrated so that the child can do his tasks calmly.
Children need encouragement to feel like ordering. That is why it is necessary to put your things at a level and height that is within your reach. Avoid large baskets and use smaller, more numerous containers instead where toys are classified by theme (cars, figures, animals, figures, etc.).
As for the color, the walls and the decoration must be in neutral tones. White, light gray, dark green, blue or beige work. Add some pops of color with cushions or hanging objects.
When he is a little older, he also values his tastes and preferences, you must support the unique character of your child. If you like yellow, choose a mustard tone or a light hue.
Do not neglect other senses such as smell and touch. Her things have their own smell, so be careful to use artificial perfumes.
