🏠 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Family vocabulary cards work best when connected to real experiences. After introducing the cards, invite children to draw or talk about their own families. Some children have two mothers, some have grandparents raising them, some have one parent—the goal is vocabulary building, not defining what families "should" look like. These cards provide the words children need to describe their unique family structure with confidence and clarity.
