5 Montessori Micro‑Habits to Unlock Your Child’s Potential

Let’s do it Together!! 🙂

Inspired by Gavin McCormack’s “The Potential in Every Child”

At Kochi’s Best Playschool – The Little Graduates Early Learning, Kaloor, Kochi, we see children blossom when home habits echo what happens in our mixed‑age Montessori classrooms. Below are five bite‑size practices you can start tonight—no special equipment needed, just curiosity and trust.

1. Put Them in Charge of Their Things

A two‑year‑old can place blocks back in a basket; a five‑year‑old can wipe a spill. When children steward their space, they build self‑discipline and pride in workmanship. Try a low shelf and labelled baskets to make tidying effortless.

2. Repair—Don’t Replace

Next time something breaks, sit together and fix it—glue the mug handle or stitch the teddy’s ear. Children learn mistakes are fixable and grow resilience.

3. Take a Weekly Moon Walk

Choose one phone‑free evening stroll. Gaze at the sky and ask, “How do you think the moon stays up there?” Big questions spark big thinking.

4. Morning Autonomy Ritual

Offer two clothing choices on a low rail every night. Let your child dress themselves and help you leave the house on time—hello, executive‑function boost!

5. Star‑Lit Storytime

Swap screens for a balcony blanket. Read together, trace constellations, and day‑dream aloud. Shared wonder bonds families and feeds imagination.


Why It Works

These micro‑habits mirror Montessori principles of independence, hands‑on learning, and cosmic curiosity. Reinforcing them at home accelerates your child’s progress in class.
