The Prepared Environment: set up your home so it stops fighting your toddler
1 month ago
It's seven in the morning, and you hear it. The scrape of a kitchen chair being dragged across the floor. Your toddler is moving furniture again, because everything they want sits about three feet out of reach. That daily battle has a fix, and it was invented more than a hundred years ago, in one of the poorest quarters of Rome, by Maria Montessori. It became the most copied idea in early education. And in the book that made her famous, she never even gave it its name. So here's where the prepared environment really came from, why it works, and at the end, a walkthrough of your own home, on your knees, that can change your week.
