The Montessori approach to toileting breaks the process down into several steps, the first of which you can begin upon birth. Yes, birth!
Using the toilet is the child’s work but there are many ways to support this or - unintentionally implement obstacles (ack!) - to your child’s process of learning.
After the initial presentation, you will be able to take the first step (or next step if you have already begun) and then return two weeks later, to learn more and have your questions answered.
Who should come? Parents, expectant parents, grandparents, and caregivers of children from birth to 24 months
For info to use with babies from birth to 18 months, Fridays, Sept. 16 & 23, from 9 - 10:30 am
For info about toddlers from 18 months to 2 1/2 years, Fridays, Sept. 30 & Oct. 7, from 9 - 10:30 am
