In this article, we will share why the combination of a table + chair is a true "must-have" for every child's room and why the advantages are much more than those of Pikler and other functional toys at home.
To encourage and support children's independence, it is important as parents to create a safe environment and provide the necessary tools for children to succeed.
Following the Montessori method, we encourage appropriate independence in everything. This "early" independence leads to increased enjoyment of activities that children often consider boring.
There is a wide variety of children's tables and chairs available on the market. Let each individually consider the choice according to their possibilities, but keep in mind that these are some of the few furniture pieces that your child will use from the period of attempting to go to preschool age, which is at least 5 years old.
Before taking a set for your child, let's seriously consider some of the benefits.
Children can sit and stand on their own. In the initial stage of walking, furniture will be a secure support for the walking child. Small sizes, stability, and lack of sharp edges will make you calm while the child tries to be independent.
A small table and chair give the child a sense of ownership and autonomy. This becomes his personal space where he can engage in various activities such as reading, writing, drawing, or working with educational materials. This sense of ownership promotes responsibility and encourages the child to take care of their things.
In the Montessori method, even the youngest children participate in the meal from beginning to end. Helping to prepare food, serving, and then enjoying it on their own is the right approach to the dining ritual. Many parents find that in addition to involving their children in food preparation, allowing them independence in serving and eating helps avoid picky eating.
Children participate in setting the table before meals, clearing and cleaning the table after. They even take the time to carefully check everything to make sure they have cleaned the table and chair well.
Furniture is designed with the child's physical development and comfort in mind. The table and chair are of appropriate size for the child's age and height, promoting good posture and reducing stress on the body. Imagine if you had to sit with your legs dangling the entire time while eating. I know I wouldn't feel comfortable there!
Children can also adjust their distance from the table to avoid strain on their shoulders or back.
With the right choice of table size, children can sit and play together at one table with chairs, but each has its own space. A small table evens out the playing field, not the older brother or sister who sits on an additional seat at the adult table, while the younger sibling cries because they can't see what he's doing from the ground.
With the right choice of table and chair combination, you will quickly see for yourself that you have made the most suitable purchase.
Children are happy and enjoy every independent process, it is great to support them.
