Sruthi Hariharan Instagram – As our little girl is stepping into the largely dreaded “terrible twos”, the reader in me began exploring ways to create the best environment for Janki within our home.  That’s when I stumbled upon #montessoriparenting and @gosh.world owned and run by super mom @gayatri2012 In about 2 weeks of placing the order, “THE BUDDY” came home. Buddy is a ‘Learning Tower’ which a child can use from the age of 1.5 till 5 years. After a day or two, Janki began to love stepping up and down her new Buddy – we were glad :) Making breakfast till now was never a smooth affair cos Janki usually chooses this time to be a little extra clingy. But now she gladly jumps onto our Buddy “to help Amma make breakfast.” What’s even better is that she eats her egg or fruit I slyly leave for her on the slab- happily while I am cooking away. Works well for both of us. A few days of using the Buddy consistently to wash hands has now become a habit. She loves coming home after her playtime, pushing the Buddy into the bathroom (with some help, of course) and stepping on it to wash her hands. I love that she loves it, and we aren’t doing all the circus in the bathroom to get our hands washed anymore. The Buddy also comes with a detachable rod/gate that I am going to keep on for many more months (she finds it comfortable to hold onto the rod and climb, and I feel she is safe with the gate to hold her in )  So, thank you, @gosh.world, for making your bespoke pieces of furniture in our country too, and helping parents like us start our journey into Montessori Parenting . Also, the Buddy is compact, which is perfect for us at home. So parents, maybe you should give this a try too . @raamkumar.r #montessoriathome #furniture #children #toddlersofinstagram #kids #kidsofinstagram #step #parents #parenting #play #instagood #instadaily #insta #homedecor #home #helpers #learning #tower #montessori #kid
