(instead of praise)
montessori teachers like to help children build their own sense of self, learn how to accept themselbes for whoe they are, and learn what feels good in the way they treat others.

montessori teachers believe instead htat a child will learn to behave if we help to debelop their intrinsic motivaiton—their internal radar that tells them that something is right (or wrong) and recognizes what helps (or hurts) themselves or someone else.

1 & 2 describe what we see + sum it up with a word
focus on the process rather than the product and describ ewhat our child has done.
"you packed your bag and are ready to go to the beach. now, that's what i call independence!"
"you helped your granma with her bag. now, that's what i call being thoughtful."
"you wiped up the water on the floor with the mop without me asking. that's what i call being resourceful."
