[quote=Anonymous]Long before my daughter started at her montessori preschool, she insisted on helping me with laundry, mixing things in the kitchen, and took pride in being able to clean up her spills. I remember how fun it was to fold clothes and sweep the floor as a kid. It's not boring to them. Just like letters are not boring to her either - she calls writing "drawing" and asks to practice writing letters when I pull out coloring sheets for her. It's what she's ready to learn and it's what she wants to work on. She's since learned a lot about how to care for herself and the house and she feels good about it. That's how most kids seem to react to the Montessori approach. If your daughter is happy and learning to take on more responsibility for herself, then what's the problem? If she's unhappy, then yes go find something else. [/quote]
