Montessori Monday – Modeling Perseverance for Toddlers

July 6, 2015 By Deb Chitwood 1 Comment

Perseverance is an important trait for any child. One of the best ways to help your child develop perseverance is by giving many opportunities for work with practical life activities.

Toddlers often need extra help in developing perseverance. They can get frustrated easily and can especially be helped by seeing you model perseverance for them.
