Sunflower Montessori School - The Toddler Classroom Environment: Introduction
Between the age of 15 and 18 months, toddlers begin to
develop a new awareness of themselves as separate, unique beings. This is a
wondrous, but often frustrating time of life because they have an understanding
of their actions and words, but are not yet able to just do whatever they would
like. Aggression, such as pushing, hitting, and biting is somewhat common but
it is typically outgrown as the toddler matures and gains speech as well as
other techniques for conflict resolution and coping. In the toddler program we
use words that acknowledge this frustration rather than judge the child or the
behavior. Because they do not yet have the self-control to “obey” and do
whatever is expected of them at all times, the adults, instead of disciplining,
supervise and offer constructive, alternative, activities that allow for the
child to express himself in a more productive manner.
