Exactly!!! Like Gin is 3 years late on applying any of these principles unless the plan is for Oliver to feed J and pick out J’s clothes? No doubt this is inspired by some recent Montessori Instagram account browsing and I am so looking forward to what sort of parenting IG tips she decides to try for 5 minutes. But like everyone has noted, Tim is WAAAY too much of a control freak to do child-led or independent anything. Think of the mess! J still wears a bib!!!I’m laughing at the part of the latest video where she says they are going to put a “montessori-type” area in the baby’s room so he can do things on his own, like pick out clothes, dress himself, get himself ready etc. Is she being serious or was this a joke?

I didn’t watch this actual video but it sounds plausible to me to be set up in a baby’s room. IG Montessori parents do set up a play shelf for even infants (for the aesthetic I’m sure) to put their wooden rattles and sensory toys, and set up a mirror/changing area as early as a year old to foster independence from a very young age. There is a whole line of very expensive Montessori furniture (sprout kids) that shrinks everything down to very small sizes for parents who have been IG influenced.Pretty sure when she said “his playroom” she was referring to Jackson. I can’t imagine an infant will have a play room, and when she held it up to the wall she said something like “is that about right for him.” But.
Plus isn’t it way too late to add to J’s playroom? Unless they moved that stuff into storage?
