Anxiety is a significant and increasing mental health challenge for children, adolescents and adults. The research tells us that we can lower children’s anxiety by helping them develop a sense of self-control and self-competence. Montessori environments excel in providing opportunities for children to develop these mindsets. Let’s explore how these opportunities can be carried into the home setting. We can help children build the self – confidence and sense of control that will help them navigate anxiety now and into the future.
