Ankita's Post

Last week, a parent told me: “My child jumps between activities every two minutes. What am I doing wrong?” So I asked them to film themselves during playtime. What we saw? They were interrupting their child every 30 seconds. “Try this way, sweetie.” “Be careful.” “Ooh, look what I found!” Their child wasn’t distracted. They were responding to the parent’s energy. Here’s what I told them: When adults move faster than a child’s rhythm, focus breaks. Not because children can’t concentrate - but because we keep signaling “something new is coming.” The fix isn’t fewer toys. It’s slower energy. I teach parents what I call the “hands-off rule” - set a timer for 2 minutes and just watch. No talking. No helping. No organizing. The results? Children who seemed “hyperactive” suddenly play for 20+ minutes straight. Your nervous system directly affects theirs. When you slow down, they go deeper. Tell me honestly - what’s harder for you? A) Setting up activities or B) Not interfering once they start? . . . . . #parentcoach #positiveparenting #montessori #parentingexpert #parentingtips
