Workshop on Gross Motor Skills Development at Yogamonster
21.10.2023
Did you know that by doing activities that require movement, children develop hand-eye coordination, balance and spatial awareness?
Motor development plays a pivotal role in the early childhood years, as it lays the foundation for every aspect of a child's growth and learning. Maria Montessori, a renowned educator, emphasized the significance of motor development in her vision for early childhood education.
In Montessori philosophy, children are given the freedom to move and explore their environment. This approach recognizes that motor development is not only about physical skills, but also about cognitive, emotional, and social development. When children engage in purposeful movements, they are actively constructing their understanding of the world around them.
Discover all the benefits of raising and educating with the Montessori pedagogical approach.
In this workshop you will learn:
About the general principles and characteristics of Montessori education.
New techniques that will allow you to promote the development of gross motor skills easily and effectively.
How gross motor skills are closely linked to children's intellectual, emotional and social growth.
The benefits and uses of Montessori materials and activities.
Recognise your child's interests and needs.

Did you know that the development of fine motor skills goes beyond control and coordination?
In fact, it is also related to social, emotional and intellectual aspects— all of which are essential for a child to develop as a whole.
The concept of fine motor skills refers to the movements of the finger gripper and small movements of the hand and wrist. The acquisition of the finger gripper as well as better hand-eye coordination is one of the main goals for the acquisition of fine motor skills.

How could Montessori materials benefit my child?
Montessori materials are designed to provide children with opportunities to discover the world around them through independent learning, repetition and practice. Montessori materials are presented to the child in sequence, from the easiest to the most difficult, according to their needs and interests. This clear sequence provides children with a logical path to learning that promotes the gradual layering of knowledge to establish foundational learning.
Montessori materials also encourage the development of concentration, which not only results in the child honing their skills, but also marks the beginning of a transformation in their behaviour by allowing them to channel their energy in a positive way.

— Heckenbichler Family
“Thank you very much for your workshop, it was very good!
Natalia’s workshops can be very very helpful for many parents all over the world, which do not know how and what to do when they have children; how to organise their time with them, how to educate them with respect, with patience, understanding, intelligence, without stress and difficulties. Plus, how to integrate the activities with the children into their daily life, so that everything works for them and makes parenting easier and even more fun. Above all, it would be even more productive for many parents who end up mistreating and mis-educating their children in different ways due to ignorance, lack of patience, lack of knowledge and ideas on how to manage time and education for their children.”
