- **Event Name**: The Words We Speak: How Language Shapes Children
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The way we speak to children matters. More than we often realize! Our words shape how children see themselves, how safe they feel, and how confidently they move through the world.

In this parent education class, we’ll explore how Montessori philosophy approaches language and communication, and how small shifts in the words we use can support children’s independence, emotional regulation, and sense of belonging.

In this class, we’ll discuss:
How adult language impacts a child’s developing brain and self-image

The difference between supportive language and language that unintentionally discourages

How to give clear, respectful directions without power struggles

Using observation instead of praise, labels, or correction

Practical phrases you can use at home to support cooperation and confidence

This class is designed to be practical, reflective, and encouraging, not about being “perfect,” but about becoming more intentional in our daily interactions with children.

This is an adult only class (except for Moms with infants!)
Cost to attend is $5 for non-members
