The internet leads many astray in understanding the profound importance of practical life work. Oversimplified phrases such as “JUST bake with your child” or “JUST do house chores with your child” take over the messages you receive on social media. But, practical life is SO much more than house work. Its purpose to a child in the first plane is multi-dimensional. It is imperative as a Montessori parent that we not only provide opportunities for practical life work but also learn its purpose. In this session, we discuss what practical life work is and how it differs from housework. We dialogue the philosophy that surrounds it, the difference between accessible & prepared and share ideas on how to properly prepare your home to lead in this most important work.
