#montessori #parenting #parentingtips
Your content is very well presented in this video. I'm a speech therapist and 100% agree with your recommendations. You are a joy to watch! I myself have a 5 month old and a 26 month old, so I'm relating to all your content. Thank you for making videos like this one to promote language development.
I actually noticed that YOU have a great vocabulary.. when you are explaining things in videos or vlogs you use great words when explaining ordinary things and when you’re just talking conversationally. Since she’s hearing you talk all the time it makes total sense that she uses great vocabulary too! Love it. I think that parents expanding their own learning and conversational vocabulary can go a long way in helping their kids!
I talked to my baby all the time. I would describe everything to her since birth. It just came naturally to me and I always used real words like I would use with an adult. She made her first sentence at 19 months and at 22 months she made a story of 6 lines and narrated it to me. It's amazing how easily she can pick up difficult words too. I love talking to my baby.
Both my boys didn't talk well until close to 2 and it was always stressful as a mom, but they're both great at talking now. It was important for me to have patience with them. They did it when they were ready, but I still encouraged them with positive reinforcement.
Please make a video about baby sign language! I would love to learn more on how that works. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I love your channel. Your videos help me be the mom I want to be for my little girl.
When my son was a tiny baby I would read my books out loud to him, speak my thoughts outloud and look at him while I talked to other people on the phone. It made those non-verbal, sedentary months much more fun for both of us.
I most say, I'm addicted to your channel... I discovered you through Instagram and watched all your videos from the start, like 2 or 3 a day, and now that I catch up its been difficult to wait for the new video... Love your content, the way you explain everything (maybe the teacher part of you helps) and mostly love your vlogs... I'm sorry if my writing is not grammatically correct, english is not my first language... 😘
I love this series and I also love when your videos are around 15 minutes or less since that's usually all the time I have to watch. Appreciate ya girl!
Whenever I see your videos, I always get inspired to do that with my toddler. Thank you.
The fact that the videos you post are free is amazing thank you
I love these suggestions! I’ve been watching your channel a TON since my daughter turned one last month and I decided to start learning about Montessori at home. You are so helpful! And I’m starting my own UA-cam channel and you’re basically my inspiration :)
Ashley this is amazing. Such wonderful things you are teaching us! Thank you so much!!!
Perfect video. Love it. I did nearly everything and the language and words and sentences from my 2,5 years old boy is amazing.
Your videos are so important.
Thank you
Love this video... someone on my same page i am a nanny and maternity nurse and i have full monologue with babies all the time and people think i am odd. I think the best way for them to learn is to hear you talking propely from start of life.
She is VERY advanced and it’s absolutely amazing
My favorite video ever! My toddler has an expressive delay due to Down's syndrome. Her receptive communcation is average and we currently use ASL plus several hours of speech therapy per week. This video gives me many ideas on how to implement some strategies and techniques to encourage oral communication on my daughter. Thank you.
Ashley you are a Great Teacher. I feel like so much of this is common sense but it really is amazing how many people still use baby talk with their toddlers...ugh that grates on my nerves. It shows such little respect for the child. I hope the parents who need to hear this, do & take it to heart. ❣️
Obsessed with your channel. Really enjoying the confidence it’s giving me to raise a great little human ♥️
As far as baby talk, it's important to use real words, like you were saying, but using that exaggerated tone helps the baby figure out the natural prosody, or rhythm, of their language. Babies stop liking this as much at around 8-10 months old.
How interesting!
That's what I was told by a linguistics professor as well.
Apparently the exaggerated enunciation/ intonation speeds up language acquisition?
I didn't know this becomes less interesting to babies once they hit a certain age though.
I found this super helpful and now I'm already looking forward to the baby sign part!
Hey, love this video as always. For us, what's worked super well is spoetscasting. Just talking my daughter through everything (and I mean everything!) we do from when she was a couple of months old. At 14mo, she says 7-10 words, and understands plenty.
Thanks for sharing this- I learn from practical approach to Montessori.
This goes to my saved video right now. Thank you so much for your advices.
Your girls are lovely by the way 😍
So glad you did this video! Thanks for the great tips.
Thank you so much for all your. videos! You're doing an amazing job and it shows with your two beautiful daughters 😍
This is a great video! My toddler was speech delayed, but he is picking up a lot of words now so even though he needs speech therapy, he will get it all in time.
Soooo true on not dumbing things down. My son uses the language I use with him,even bigger, more specific words. I just explain bigger words with synonyms or breaking things down when introducing new words like you mentioned.
So right! And don't repeat the wrong words back to your kid the way they say it. Remember, we are their models.
Love this thanks, practicing with my little one!
You’re great! Thank you for taking the time to share
Hi Ashley! I found your channel last week and have been binge watching videos every day since to get caught up. Thank you for taking the time to create such amazing content! Also, about 2 days ago I watched the video where you talked about how a crazy squirrel tried to steal food from you when you were in college. I laughed because it reminded me of the squirrels at UF. Then, today when I was watching your older videos, I watched the q&a where you and Mike answered questions and I found out that you both are Gators! What a coincidence! The Gator Nation really is everywhere lol. Anyway, I really enjoy your content and so I just wanted to express my appreciation! 💕
Thank you for this. My two girls (28 months and nearly 8) are raised bilingual so speech was quite tricky. The first has obviously now caught up and speaks English and French fluently. However when she was a toddler, just like her little sister is now she was still hardly making any sentences. Thank you so much for your tips, some of which I kind of apply already. I expect it will help xx
Do you live in France? How did you manage which language to use?
Alice C I live in the UK. My husband is English and I am French. I usually speak and read in my own language to the girls and so does their dad. They speak English to each other, as they go to local school/nursery. My oldest speaks fluent French and perfect English. My almost 3 yo speaks English and has a lot of French words but doesn’t put words together in French yet. I guess perseverance pays off. I also try to take them to France as often as poss where they have cousins. I hope that helps xx
@@celinecathz2280 Thanks for sharing! I'm struggling speaking english with my husband while he answer in Italian. It's quite confusing but I'm confident on my baby ability to understand, sooner or later 😅
Great content, presented very clear and organized. I love it!
Not related to Montessori series but, it would be awesome to learn some productivity tips from you.
Thank you so much for posting these videos...they are so helpful
Your hair looks so cute with that clipped way
Thank you!
I Looooooove your channel. THANK YOUUUU! I am first time mama and this helps sooo much. ❤
100% AGREE!! As a former Kindergarten teacher and Mom of 2 this is SPOT ON!!! You are sharing such fantastic info on this channel. Keep bringing these wonderful tips as you find your way through this thing called parenting....not everyone does it the same way but it's so helpful to know what's working for others as you are in the thick of it!! May God bless you and your sweet family!!
Amen!❤😊
I love your videos. Great introduction for Montessori and in general... Cant wait my 5 month old learns to talk :)
Would love to see a videos about some of you and your kids favorite books to read together!
As a first time mom, your videos are very helpful!
Love this video it was very informative! Do you have a video for baby sign language?
I would love video on baby sign language 😊 thank you for all of your videos - they very helpfull
Thank you in particular for telling parents how important it is for them to repeat back to their children the correct words for things. So, if a child asks for their cup of milk and it's a glass of milk, hand it to them and say, "Here is your glass of milk." Not acting like you don't know what they mean or that it was terrible that they got the vessel name wrong. Just to reinforce the correct words for things as you go.
Your parenting matches my idea of parenting and teaching so well I love it . I don’t have kids but I have a really good idea of how they should be taught or talked to and this is exactly it . And my friends never agree . I can’t stand how ppl overly baby there children , and only just goo goo ga ga them
Congrats dear for completing 100k 😎
And again, I'm doing a lot right 😆
Well done video with lots of tips 😚
None of my children were very verbal. My oldest has autism so that’s self explanatory. Now he is very verbal that he has moved up the spectrum. My 5 year old was speech delayed and now he has a speech impediment but he does therapy and helps him a lot. My 2 year old is the same thing as my 5 year old but she does have enlarged tonsils that touch and enlarged adenoids I definitely hear her say words but she has an impediment as well. My baby makes coo and wa sounds so this advice was great I hope one of my children come out verbal early but I love this video and advice. I will definitely try this.
New subscriber so I’m binge watching Everything!!! Omg I appreciate all your videos! Full-load of informations!!!! 💕💕💕👏🏽
Sameeeeeee 😍😍😍
A video on baby sign language would be great!!
Totally agree! Our mother language is Mandarin, but we read English book or watch English TV program sometime so my 2-year-old boy can say some simple animal names in English, like "bear", "monkey". One day I told him the name of the book "the very hungry caterpillar" and he tried to repeat the whole sentence too. It's not easy for him to say this as a sound language. And the other day he pointed the book and said "caterpillar" instead of the Chinese word. So we don't need to only teach them simple words on purpose, assumed they can't learn difficult word at this time. They can absorb long sentence as well as short words.
Very helpful!
Love the video, and serie! Do you have trick for sign language? Would love to see a video of sign language or idea when you show Mia the signs. I read somewhere you need to be the more consistent you can, but is tough to remember 🙈. My little one is just under 6 month so I love seeing idea of what you do with Mia.
Yes yes. Please do a baby sign language video!
Hi, Hapa Family! Love your videos! This one helped me a lot too! Although there's one thing that I beg to differ, my toddler, learned a lot of words from watching her nursery rhymes in UA-cam. (Of course we make sure they are the good ones) but yeah, she definitely learned a lot from it. So maybe instead of saying "it doesn't work that way", just say it doesn't work "most of the time", because my baby definitely learned lots of words from it and identify objects because she sees them in her cartoons. :)
Thanks for the wonderful video. This definitely helps First time moms. I would like to know when to start three period lesson and how long to stay in each period. Thank you
Fantásticos exemplos !!!! ❤❤❤😘♥️👍👏👏👏👏
I would LOVE to see a video on using Baby Sign Language (though, I prefer to use real ASL signs instead of modified baby signs when possible. True, a baby or toddler may not have the finger dexterity to do all of the signs "correctly" but it's no different than a toddler not properly saying certain letter sounds when talking. Your baby might start off signing "water" with a closed fist, then and open palm before moving on to doing the "W" handshape; just like s/he may start off with "wawa" and then move on to "wa-er" before finally being able to say "water." Since ASL is a language, it can and should be treated in the same way as English or another spoken language).
I also love the idea of reading to newborns and young infants. Yes, repetitiveness is important for language development, but I also think parents and caregivers (I babysit and have worked in daycares which is why I love your channel) should embrace those months where you can read what YOU want to read before you have a toddler begging to hear the same story for the millionth time.
And the first thing I thought of when it comes to using the real names for items was Kylie knowing the actual types of triangles (vocabulary I honestly forgot about because I never use it).
Yes, I remember the isosceles example so clearly too.. that had amazed me.
Ashley, on sign language - a Qs I had was, which words did you find most useful for Kylie having learnt. I don't plan to teach my baby many sign language words, but if I know the "5-7 most helpful to know" then I can focus on those.
Right now my 14mo knows food and done. And we've found just those two being super useful.
I am also interested in knowing more about the pitfalls and benefits of using early sign language in hearing children. For instance my two year old who is totally verbal and hearing, refuses to use the word "more" but will only sign for more and if you ignore it or tell her no, no more she gets more animated with the signing and now uses a "MMM" sound over and over and over and it is so annoying haha, but the bigger problem is that I am afraid that I am finding she is doing this more frequently with other words now too like help..so she will be crying over a frustration and rather than use the word help, she is over in the play room signing for help over and over again while crying. I was warned by our caseworker (this is a foster child in our care since infancy) that this is why they do not recommend signing in hearing toddlers. Thoughts?
@@pnhnut Honestly, that sounds like normal two-year-old behavior to me. Toddlers like to be defiant and resist authority. It's not unusual for a toddler to do the exact opposite of what you want them to do because they're testing boundaries and/or trying to find control over their own lives.
Obviously, I'm not an expert, but what you're describing sounds more like an "issue" with your daughter being defiant and wanting control and LESS of something directly related to ASL. ASL is actually GREAT for hearing children because those motor skills usually develop faster than oral skills. This means that a child may know what s/he wants or needs and can communicate despite not having the word. This leads to fewer tantrums and less frustration on both sides of the conversation. Plus, being frustrated over a lack of being able to communicate can actually lead to more stress and a more difficult time communicating. (Just like how as an adult, being frustrated over not being able to pick out a word can actually make it harder to remember the word).
Instead of fighting, try ignoring the fact that she's using ASL as a way to communicate and accept it. She signs "more," and you respond simply "Oh, do you want more crackers?" [Maybe throw in a gentle reminder in regards to using manners and saying "please"... whether she signs it or says it vocally, acknowledge it in the same way]. When you ignore it entirely, you have a child who becomes desperate for attention. When you fight her on it, she's likely to fight back. At the end of the day, ASL is a language and she is communicating. That is the most important part.
I have a friend whose 4 year old will go through phases of wanting to sign everything instead of speaking (and she's always been a chatterbox). If she does't know a sign, she'll make one up. When that happens, my friend just treats it like it's normal because it's not worth the argument. (Though, when it comes to made-up signs, she DOES occasionally tell her daughter "I don't understand what you are saying. You need to tell me using your words.")
Yes! Please do a video about baby sign language😄
So helpful. :) Please do a video on baby sign language.
You are amazing. So interesting
People always notice my 4 year olds vocabulary & conversational skills also. I have done all the things you suggested & I always tell people the same I just talk to her like a person lol & no baby talk as in only real words, of course I do speak in a very overly descriptive, overly enunciated, animated way. Omg & yes we did sign language from about 9 months old too. Plus I would read to her from birth her own books, my books, longer children’s & contemporary classics, magazine articles, online random articles on anything science, health, food, psychology, baby development just everything. Now that she’s older though she has a shorter attention span for being read to, so we’re taking a break from long books & mostly read books that can be read in 1 sitting. I do even keep reading as she runs around & plays & most of the day as I’m doing all the housework we have audiobooks running anyway.
Thank you for this video. Love the work you're doing with your daughters and how the whole house is Montessori oriented. My children are teenagers. Could you recomand Montessori for teenagers u tube channel or other sources of knowledge for the teenagers?
Great share!
I sign with mine. She's got 25 words down by 18 months. About 5-10 real words used correctly. I wish I saw this early on.. the 3 part learning is new to me. Great info as usual!🥰😁👍
D Shannon what resources did you use to learn/teach baby sign? I really want to learn to do that for my forthcoming little guy but have no idea how!
@@jessicasmith2103 baby signing time. I ordered dvds/cds on amazon
@@jessicasmith2103 I learned from UA-cam
Ashley, right now, I am TOTALLY comparing my M to Kylie (who was potty trained by 19mo, if i remember correctly..?)
Joys of potty training day #1.
Hope you are having wonderful holidays.
Thankyou for the video. As a parent of a child with a neurocognitive disorder, it would be good to mention this subject as around 15% children (at least in my country) have varying degrees of disorders. Did you have experience with special needs kids as a teacher? I wish that I would've used sign language since my child was a baby and a video on it would be great😊
Im not yet a mother but i do want kids in the future & ever since I’ve encountered myself with your channel i love how u explain stuff & how u raise your babies, i love it. I want this in the future for my babies as well. Thanks so much for all the info . Its such a new way to raise a child i love how u actually give them the respect they deserve and how independent they are. I love it!!
~Greetings from Aruba😁
Hi Ashley, Thank you for these videos I have always found inspiration and ideas from them. Have a question though.. What is the montessori approach to introducing multiple languages.. We speak different languages at home including english, please share your thoughts on this..
I'm new to the channel, so I'm not sure where grandparents stand with your family... but I was wondering (if this applies to your family or any of the viewers) how you could get the grandparents on board with the ways of montessori?
So.. M is pretty good with speech, but I still came to this video, because well - Ashley puts out a video, I will eventually watch it!
But my key takeaway - consider getting an actual vegetable scrubber rather than the dollar store toothbrush (that I use exclusively for veggies)!
I would love to see you actually reading to your little one in a video. Maybe you could film it one day? My baby is now 10 months old and I have been trying many times, but he does not like being read to or looking at books. I have books with rhymes, soft books, books that make noise, books with babies, with flaps... he chews on them and that’s it. I guess at some point the interest will come, any suggestions?
I'd love to watch a baby sign language video
my toddler is 1,5 years, we re reading and practicing language a lot just like you said. She understands most of the words around the house, animals and things from our books and can point on them when asked for. However, for most of the things she has only noises (animals) or no words yet. she is amazinlgy good in expressing her will and needs and I also really know her well so we make up a good team understanding wise. So I am wondering if she maybe can get too comfortable without feeling the need to learn speaking? for her reach level 3 , would it be better to "less understand" her nonverbally ? or would that lead to to big frustration and even threaten or harm our bond ?
So helpful thank you!! I love your videos. I cant wait to implement everything when I have a baby.
In another video you had mentioned Kylie saw her first movie..do you guys have a tv? Do you watch movies often? Or do you go to the movies at all? I'm just curious.
Hi Ashley, thank you for the always helpful tips. I always look forward to your new videos about raising kids the montessori way. More power! :)
Hi there. As a first time mom I love your videos. Thank you so much. I have a 2year3month old boy who isnt speaking... everything physically is good but he just doesnt even attempt to speak. He understands requests etc just doesnt use words. What can I do?
Hello dear...thankyou for making such amazing videos❤️. Btw do you have any idea why Montessori sensorial materials are in a specific order?! Like is it like one has to start from that order only ...what is the purpose?!
Hi, do you have any advice for bilingual babies?
Yesss, please!
I hope she see your comment it's very important
Yesssss
Aaah that's our main issue with these languages videos because we speak 2 non English languages in our home my language and the father's so she'll have 2 parental tongues but then english is the only language i know to read and write and evrything i have and use is in English ghor her and obviously cbeebies is in English and BSL too i have been using baby sign but then i don't want to overwhelm or confuse her with 3 at once and the basic signs
Hi! I have nothing else to say, so I just want to greet you.
I have been doing this with my one year old since birth, yet she says only three words (mama papa tata) but she understands everything and helps with everything
Great video. Any experience from multilingual parents? In my household we speak 3 languages, My 16 months old daughter goes to daycare so she is exposed to English longer. But when home, we speak French and berber(african dialect), We were raised to speak them mixed up so I cant stick to one language like I was told to by her pediatrician. This worry me, so far she seems to understand basic sentences and object names. But I am worried for the long run.
I haven’t been here long.. so you have any Montessori actives and such for 4/5 month olds? No one around me does Montessori and I only learned about it from a video I found of yours on here. I think it’s so fascinating
She has ones that go over the 3 different mobiles and some of the beginning Montessori toys :) it was about two months ago so you might have to scroll back a bit in her library.
I read to my 7-month-old but usually she takes the book out of my hands and puts it in her mouth or crawls away. Is it still beneficial if she doesn’t pay much attention and doesn’t really look at me while I’m reading? When did your girls start to pay more attention to the books you were reading?
What about for bilingual homes?
Hi, awesome mom~ I am wondering do you question your babies like "what is this" kinds of questions while they are playing some toys? Do you think teaching some more works while they are playing is helpful?
@Terri Mccallum Wow~ Thanks for your comments for all the details~ I do explain a lot of things to my 2 year old. I do agree repeat something around her is helpful for her languages. But I don't know how much I should do, because I don't want to interrupt her when she is really deep thinking or playing something... Montessori is letting the baby be the boss and we support... But Seems like language part is a little bit confusing about that...
How does your husband do with all of this? Does he have a hard time doing every little thing it takes to have this style of parenting? Is he on the same page as you like reading the Montessori books etc.?
I know my husband is on board with Montessori for our son but he doesn’t do as much research. Instead of researching he sort of comes to me for knowledge on it lol. It’s fine for me because he does well with me relaying the things I learn but I’m wondering if it’s more helpful that he really buckle down and research.
How do we deal with multi linguistic families?
Hi...I feel you are a super mom.... Have you ever feel you as a failure depressive mom ? How you overcome it ?
How do you deal with inlaws who visit occasionally and use baby words or things like "oh my doogness" (not even joking that they don't say goodness. Sine they live in another state we only see them like 4-5 times a year. Not sure if that is going to affect baby learning or not? If I were to talk to his family, they are very easily offended if you say things so I worry it would also make them angry to correct them. Thanks in advanced!
I am studying to be a pedagog and watched a very short sound video. It is about a little child learning how to say the word water. It was very interesting to hear the child's language development and it was also funny to hear how the child tries to say the word water. It was the dad who had been filming it all for thousands of hours since his child started saying it
My child doesn’t really look at me or listen to me, he is too busy and distracted a lot. Also he does’t like reading cus again he cant sit still. I have no idea how to do this
I love this a lot though!! Thank you so much :)
I love these videos! 😄
Here's a video idea! Got any tips specifically about raising girls? Since you have two. Doctor's guess is my baby will probably be a girl as well 😊
Love this video! Any tips for how to incorporate some of these tips in a bilingual household? Do you emphasize one language over another, or try to speak/direct in both languages equally?
baby sign language tips?
Hi Ashley, Lisa here. Thanks for your helpful sharing. However, I do encounter a issue now and need your expertise to help me. Me and my husband are both Chinese and Chinese are our mother tongue. But we moved to Singapore for years where we both speak English as working language. After I gave birth to my son, I have been used the OPOL method which I speak English and my husband speaks Chinese. My son is now 16mth old but I found my husband didn't spent a lot of time with my son as I do. As a result, my son now understand most of the daily terms in English but don't understand Chinese. In this case, when I speak to my son, shall I switch to Chinese? Will it makes him confused or cause him with a self-esteem problem? Or do you have other suggestions that help my son to learn Chinese as a mother tongue?
How did you learn Montessori
Do you have an recourses for poetry to read to our babes? :)
I loved Robert Louis Stevenson all throughout my childhood. "The Swing" was my favorite.
Great explanation, thank you Ashley. I'm implementing it to my baby. Do you have any advice for using bilingual at home? Because I use English and Indonesian. I hope it doesn't confuse my baby
It definitely doesn't! I'm an elementary teacher and teaching your child more than one language will be super beneficial to them in the long run - there are many studies that show that bilingual children do better in school and it is great for brain development. You may notice a period where your child mixes up words of both languages and lags a little bit developmentally, but this is totally normal and will pass with time. Continue supporting language development with your child by reading books aloud in both languages and otherwise promoting lots of access to oral and written language. Best of luck!
@@zoelemenestrel7853 I was wondering the same thing... I talk to my daughter is spanish mostly but at daycare they speak english and I feel like she doesnt communicate as well as a child who is only exposed to english..your answer is very helpful. Thank you
@@zoelemenestrel7853 oh thank you so much 😄
This is awesome! I've been doing this with my son (he's 6 months old). I know studies show that babies/ children (up to a certain age that I don't remember) are most primed for learning multiple languages. I have a multi-langual household, but now that I have a kid, I realized I don't know how to implement his learning of each language.
Should I have days where I only speak to him in a specific language? Or should I say the same thing multiple times (once in each language)? Or should I only speak what will be the primary language in the household, and trust that he'll learn English from interacting in the world (my nieces/nephews learned English when they started school)?
Any tips from anyone who knows would be great!
I know this is late, but to answer your question, that final option is best. If you live in an English speaking country, your child will pick it up no problem. English is quite a bit simpler to pick up than a lot of other languages that we may be introducing to our child. The best way to introduce your language is to be consistent with it. We speak Russian (me) and Korean (my husband) at home, and that is how we have sit it up. He speaks his language, I speak mine, and between the two of us we strive for Korean because our daughter is exposed to it less (she sees my parents, who also speak Russian). She will have a chance to pick up English naturally from school, us talking on the phone, going to stores, etc.
We spoke only Russian in my family when my brother was born, and he entered Montessori with zero English. In a matter of months, he was perfectly fluent in it!

How many months old is Kylie? There is a huge difference in development for every month!
Yes I mean how many months is the 2 year old. There is a massive difference between 24 months and 29 months for example in development. A new “2” should never be compared to a child who is an older “2.”
Do you have a list of recommended books for children?
