- Create an aesthetic environment full of natural materials, clutter free, clean, and complete.
- Follow the child and his/her interests.
- Model Concentration when presenting a new activity.
- Peaceful music in the background helps ground the child and bring them to the activity. When communicating with your child, use a calm and peaceful tone.
- Play silence games and model making silence.
- Model joy while working and present the activity with slow, exaggerated hand movement. OMIT WORDS!
- Do not interrupt child’s work/play. It is how they explore the world around them unless if it is destructive, disruptive, and dangerous.
- Create a self-calming space, a reading corner, and a designated art table. This helps bring the order in child’s mind, which in turns helps with concentration.
- Opportunities to do work outside and safe access to interact with the environment can build inner connection with the nature.
- And most importantly, observe silently!
