Course Overview

A 6-hour interactive training (3 sessions × 2 hours) empowering aunties to nurture toddlers’ independence, emotional resilience, and curiosity through Montessori principles and positive discipline.

Key Takeaways:

• Design toddler-friendly spaces that encourage safe exploration.
• Master positive communication to navigate tantrums and big emotions.
• Teach practical life skills (dressing, feeding, cleaning) with Montessori tools. 
• Support child-led toilet learning and joyful mealtimes.

Why This Course Stands Out

✅ Real-life practice: Role-playing tantrums, mealtime scenarios, and skill demonstrations.

✅ Take-home tools: Includes a workbook with scripts, setup checklists, and activity ideas.

✅ Ongoing support: Access to Auntie Circle for peer advice and expert Q&A.

Perfect for: Aunties, nannies and parents who want to:

• Reduce power struggles with toddlers.
• Cultivate independence without rushing development.
• Create calm, joyful routines at home.

Let’s raise toddlers who feel capable, heard, and curious about the world! 🌱
