🏠💻8 Ways to Stay Healthy When You’re Working from Home. Part 1.

1. Keep a Routine
One of the most important ways to stay healthy (whether you work from home regularly or go into an office) is to stick to a routine. Make your sleep, self-care, meals, and workouts a priority—add them to your calendar and keep the date!

A healthy routine doesn’t end at scheduling workout time on your calendar. Sticking to a regular schedule for all your daily activities will help you establish good sleep patterns as well. Even if you’re working from home, go to bed at a regular time each evening and wake up at the same time in the morning.

Prepare for work and set yourself up with a pattern, just as you would if you went into the office. This advice also applies to kids. If they are homeschooling, a regular schedule will help them stay focused and lower their stress.

2. Eat a Balanced Diet
Those who work-at-home report that sticking to a balanced diet is one of the biggest challenges. After all, when the fridge (or snack cupboard) is just a few steps away, it’s easy to nosh. Cravings are especially tough to ignore when you’re feeling stressed.

Keep healthy snacks ready to go at a moment’s notice. Apples, bananas, baby carrots, and clementines are a great bet. Snack on pepper slices and hummus or salsa. Focus on fruits and vegetables, especially as a mid-day option. You may want to pre-prepare your lunch as you would for commuting to the office if it helps you make good choices.

If you’re feeling peckish, you may also be dehydrated. Drink plenty of water or brew yourself a soothing cup of tea. Don’t let working from home be an excuse to indulge in unhealthy options.

3. Stay Up on Hydration
As mentioned above, dehydration can mask itself as hunger. Dehydration can also make us feel tired, slow, and foggy. Now more than ever, it’s essential to stay hydrated, especially as you work from home.

Getting adequate water will help keep your immune system strong. Proper hydration helps all systems in your body to work optimally, including your joints and muscles and is essential for good health.

🙌🏽Ways to use The Pikler Triangle

The neat thing about the triangle is it’s designed to work literally from 6 months through 6 years just as it is (although you can make some adjustments to the setup, which I’ll discuss below.) It’s designed to work as the foundation for all milestones.

So, for example, babies can first play under or around the triangle, then as babies begin to pull themselves up, they can use the rungs to stand. It’s known that babies actually learn to climb before they stand, which is why the Pikler is great as early as 6 months. As they get older they can climb over the triangle.

As they turn into toddlers, you can add on the “accessories.” We have both a double-sided ramp with a slide on one side and a rock wall on the other. We also have the wooden bridge, which can be used as a ramp, table, or bridge. Down the road, we may opt to add a climbing arch, as well.

You’ll notice your kids will experiment slowly at first, figuring out how to pull themselves onto the rungs. The magic of the Pikler Triangle is letting your child explore at their pace on their own terms.

✅❓Is Montessori right for my child?

Is Montessori right for my child?
I get asked a lot, “Is Montessori right for my child?” “Is it only for kids who can plan well and are super independent?” “Or only for kids that can sit quietly and work and not run about?”

Let’s take a look.

1. Different learning types

I’ve found that Montessori is suitable for all children. The materials offer opportunities to learn visually, aurally, kinaesthetically (through touch) and verbally, and thus easily accessible to children who learn in different ways.

The teacher prepares and connects the child to the environment which is full of beautiful materials to explore and the children learn through discovery.

One of my children learns a lot from observing the other children – he watches and watches others doing an activity, then after some time tries it himself and has generally already mastered it. And my other child learns by doing the activity herself and repeating and repeating it until it is mastered. Both children have thrived in this environment despite their different learning styles.

2. Does your child have to be able to plan?

Planning their day is something Montessori children learn. Some children need more guidance than others, but a good Montessori teacher should be able to guide children who need more assistance to organise their work.

Both my children gradually learned the planning process during their time at Montessori preschool and primary school. And this was mastered in upper primary (the bovenbouw). Under 9 years, they could mostly do the activities they wanted as long as they were moving ahead in all areas of the class.

3. What if my child needs to move a lot?

If you enter a Montessori classroom, it can indeed be quite quiet. The children seem focussed on their activities without the teacher having to yell to calm them down. However, the children are also allowed to get up and move around the classroom so it can be ideal for children who need to move.

4. What is your family approach?

While I believe Montessori is suitable for all children, Montessori is not for all families. If you are laissez-faire at home where your child can do what they like, eat what they want and go to bed as they wish, they may find the limits of the Montessori classroom too constraining. And if you are strict at home, and your child is used to cooperating via rewards, stickers and time outs, they could find it difficult to control themselves with the freedom in the Montessori classroom.

Montessori schools are most suited to children in families where there is respect for the child, the parent set few but clear limits, and the child learns to respect and follow these limits.

👶What Are the Benefits of Learning Tower vs Regular Stool?

1. Learning Tower is SAFER

While a stool or chair can also bring the child up to a higher spot, toddlers can easily fall from them. The little helper tower has been built with this specific feature in mind in order to provide safety. It’s steady and it has a wide base, with 4 legs, that offers good stability.

Some of them are either completely covered on all sides with wooden or felt planks to prevent the child from falling (personally not recommended, more on this further).

Others have a wooden bar placed at the back of the child to provide better protection. It just depends on your safety comfort zone to decide which design works better for your family.

The kitchen tower also gives you a better overview of your toddler’s access to some kitchen appliances.

P.S. Especially when you start using the kitchen helper some kids might take this opportunity to start climbing onto the counter. It’s a phase and it’s totally normal. Mine got bored of being taken down and stopped doing it after about 2 weeks.

2. The Kitchen Helper Teaches INDEPENDENCE

The learning tower is an item greatly recommended by the Montessori method of education, because it supports the child’s instinct to do things independently.

Most of the learning tower models out there are designed to allow the child to climb in and out of the tower by themselves. They have one or more steps, that make the climbing safe.

While it may seem tempting to get a foldable one, no foldable tower provides step access to it for your child and it makes your toddler lose his independence.

In addition to that and most importantly, the toddler benefits from individual playtime, even if they are right next to you. Using the little helper tower gives your toddler the chance to explore food, personal hygiene items, or even toys in their rhythm, without any “be careful” interruptions from parents.

📍What Developmental Benefits Does My Child Get From A Pikler Triangle?

Physical Benefits

There are many physical benefits children gain by using a Pikler triangle.

Gross Motor Skills – gross motor skills are those that use the whole body. When using a Pikler triangle your child is using their arms, legs and torso in unison and strengthening muscles in all those areas. This is true even if your child is under 1 and only learning to stand. Using a Pikler triangle to pull themselves up is strengthening their legs and getting ready for walking, but it is also strengthening core muscles in the torso, which leads to better balance once your child starts walking.

Core Strength – using a Pikler for pulling to stand and climbing all engages and enhances core strength. It helps your child use a variety of muscles to perform these activities.

Hand Strength and Fine Motor Skills – gripping on the to the triangle, but also the ability to grip, release, grip and release as necessary will strengthen hands, and it helps with fine motor skills, which are needed in later years for handwriting, feeding oneself and manipulation of small items. Cognitive Benefits

Assessing risk and being comfortable with the risk being undertaken is incredibly important for decision making as a teen and adult. The foundations for assessing risk and making the choice best for the individual are all laid in the early years, and resources like Pikler triangles can help lay those foundations.

Calming the Mind – moving our bodies is a great way to reconnect as a whole and calm our mind. This is an especially important point for those days when it’s too cold or wet to get to the park or even the backyard, or when you (or your child) are unwell, and you can’t get out to move around. Having a Pikler triangle in your lounge room can really help with moving around and providing a physical outlet, which will help calm your child’s mind and bring some peace (after the crazy work out on the Pikler of course!)

🪵Is Wooden Chopping Board better than Plastic One’s?

🦠❌1.Wooden Chopping are anti-bacterial.

Wood absorbs residual food-borne bacteria after manual cleaning with soapy hot water, but it also holds the bacteria inside, where it cannot multiply and eventually dies. Even when a ‘contaminated’ wooden cutting board is sliced open with a sharp knife, the bacteria do not come out.

✅2. They are durable and reliable.

One of the most noticeable benefits of wood cutting boards is their durability. Wood is known to be able to withstand heavy daily use. With proper attention and maintenance, wood can last for years. This longevity not only makes a wooden cutting board a smart financial investment, it makes it a safe tool. When preparing food, especially raw meat, you want a sturdy, reliable surface. This is important to prevent injuries. A wood cutting board provides this stability.

🧽3. Easy to maintain and clean

Compared to other materials, such as plastic cutting boards, wood is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Because of this, wood cutting boards do not easily contaminate or harbor harmful bacteria. The best way to clean a wood board is to scrape off all remaining food residue from the surface after each use. Then, simply hand wash with warm water and soap, and leave out to completely air-dry. You can even give the entire surface a good wipe down with food-grade mineral oil after every few months for maintenance.

🍽4. They complement your kitchen and tools

Not only are wood cutting boards functional, they are aesthetically pleasing as well. Wood adds natural warmth and beauty to any kitchen. If you are looking to create a traditional appearance in your kitchen, a wooden cutting board or two can help you achieve that goal. A rustic edge cutting board will add some rustic flair to your home. Furthermore, wood is a naturally-grown, organic material that can be easily carved and shaped into the ideal cutting board for any kitchen.

♻️5. They are eco-friendly
