Send us Fan MailScreens are everywhere. But what does that actually mean for our babies and their developing brains?In this first episode of Season 3, we’re exploring screen time through the lens of Montessori philosophy and early childhood development. Rather than approaching the conversation with judgment or fear, we’re looking at what babies actually need during their earliest years and how we can support their development in an increasingly digital world.In this episode, we explore:How babies learn through sensory experiences and real-world interactionsWhat current research tells us about screen time in early childhoodThe difference between passive screen use and meaningful interactionsWhy serve-and-return experiences are so important for developing brainsHow Montessori principles can help us navigate screen time with greater intentionFinding balance without the pressure of being a perfect parentWhether you’re navigating screen time for the first time or reconsidering your family’s approach, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and look at development through a different lens.Continue Your Montessori JourneyWant to bring Montessori into your home from the very beginning?Explore the Montessori Babies Course and platform, where I guide you through your baby’s first two years of development with practical, approachable ways to support learning, independence, and connection.👉 Explore the Montessori Babies Course and free resources here.Let’s connect:Instagram: @babytourguideTikTok: @babytourguideWebsite: babytourguide.comXoxo,Bianca A.
