Here how people say „thank you!“ to me. It’s a great joy!

Feedback (Montessori group)

Thank you for the chance to come to a trial class in the Clew group. I have a wonderful impression! Pete (2 years old) got settled in 10 minutes, started actively exploring new space, examining the materials. He felt confident and comfortable.

I liked that there were many different corners and zones in the class, where a child could play, draw, have a snack or read a book, and that he could choose what to do not following one common programme.

I’d like to say a special thank you to Tania, who made our first visit very comfortable, answered our questions and even performed a small psychological counselling for us. We are seriously considering visiting these classes regularly.

We liked the selection of toys, our kid enjoyed playing with them. Tania is very friendly, she was explaining and showing what to do with materials and which of them are suitable for our kid’s age. There were no difficulties.

I’d never visited any Montessori class before so I had nothing to compare to but I was completely happy with this one! There was enough time to play, but my kid got whiny after one hour so we left a little early. In general, kids had a chance to play and moms  to talk. We really liked it all! I think, it’s the best possible thing in this situation!

I would like to describe our situation regarding the kindergarten as well as generally what our adaptation period was like after we went to have a consultation with you.

My daughter is 3 years and 8 months old, and, for instance, today she was virtually running in the direction of the kindergarten, while being in her best mood, and it keeps being this way for almost a week now.

There are times when she gets a bit sad and cries a little as we say goodbye to each other at the kindergarten, however, she doesn’t grab me by my coat or my leg, starting the endless cycle of “I want my mother! I want my mother!”

Thank you for your consultation!

Despite the fact that not that much time has passed, we have managed to find way round this situat ion and act in a reasonable way, thanks to your recommendations. Most importantly, it all has to be done with love towards your child
as well as yourself. 

To all parents who feel lost, particularly regarding your child’s adaptation to the kindergarten, I recommend you contact Tatiana and, despite all your fears, work on it without any unnecessary harm neither for the child, nor for the parents! Thank you very much!

Psychological counselling

Thanks a lot!

It took me a while to collect my thoughts. That hour of consultation turned out very saturated and informative. I know Tatiana for more than 5 years. I knew her as a baby swimming and massage instructor. I knew her as an empathetic teacher of kids development programs.

I knew her as an extremely nice and charming person with whom you feel nice and cozy. I knew her as an experienced mom of 4. That day I discovered her as a psychologist.

Our older daughter was about to go to the first grade but I knew quite little about Czech schools and had an intuitive wish to listen to Tanya, and I was right! She gave me a very structured information, told me about different options, answered all my questions very clearly. Tatiana knows my daughters and that’s the most wonderful thing! She always sees the essence, all the recommendations are quite clear on the one hand, but I haven’t even thought about certain things.

I’m absolutely delighted with the consultation! We discussed two really complicated and important questions. I will address to Tatiana again with great pleasure! I thank you from my heart!!!

About a week and a half has passed since our consultation. I would like to share our achievements with you. This consultation was useful rather for me than for my child.

So, I definitely feel much better. My
daughter is 1 year and 9 months old, and I contacted Tatiana because my daughter kept extremely overreacting ( hysterically crying) to strangers and new unknown situations (like for a example a lady talking to us at the bank, us having some guests over at our place, or talking to our neighbours — a mother with a child).

Everything that was out of my daughter’s comfort zone was met with crying
and discontent.

If something like that happened at home, the only solution that worked was to breast
feed her. Outside of home, the only thing that worked was to bring her away from the stressor as much as possible.

How can I help my daughter? Is this even ok? What is it even? Can it be any
different at all?

I wanted Tatiana to help me find answers to all of these questions, since I’ve been
following her blog and watching her videos for some time now, and as they say, “It s really my thing”.

I wanted Tatiana to help me find a way to influence this situation without harming anybody, and so, I’ve managed to find all the answers to all of my questions!

Moreover, Tatiana does not give
any fixed instructions, strict rules and settings. It’s all about being able to listen, ask the right questions and offer you view on the situation.

As a result, just after one hour of talking to Tatiana I’ve learnt so much— I’m still processing it all.

Roughly speaking, we can say that we ve started to work on my daughter’s ability to find peace within herself, rather than in her mother breast feeding her. Of course, after just one week no miracles happened, however there are certain improvements she’s starting to calm herself down in different ways.

We are also working on improving her hypersensitivity, and that’s where we’re doing better: a couple of times she hasn’t cried at all while we met our friends outside, and there was no more hysteric
behaviour from meeting strangers since the consultation at all.

I had no illusions — I never thought things would change instantly, besides, that was what Tatiana told us as well, that it’s just the beginning of the new course and that things won’t change for the better instantly.

Most importantly, now I know what it can potentially be and how I should behave.

Perhaps I’ve just dealt with all my fears and now have a fresh view on the situation, or maybe, by slightly altering my own behaviour I influenced my daughter’s perception of the situation. It actually doesn’t matter.

Most importantly it works. Thank you very much! When the next crisis comes, I’ll definitely contact Tatiana again.

Thank you! There’s something magical about consultations.

The day of consultation is always very smooth. Even when next day it all comes back, it’s a nice feeling. 

Today it was also very smooth, Sasha has put up with the fact that dad had taken away her sunglasses by mistake, at the kindergarten she caught up with me when I was about to leave, took my sunglasses and went away.

 It got much better with the kindergarten.

There were no more tantrums any more. Every time she asks to stay with her for a while and says that she doesn’t want to go. Few times she was whining quite intensely, but switched from it quite quickly. Every second day after kindergarten she has a 10-15 minute tantrum out of nowhere.

She breaks the tension and everything is alright again.

This year my son went to school. I thought – Alright, he’s 6 now, it’s high time he starts visiting a psychologist once a year, just prophylactically.

Just like a dentist or a pediatrician. So that an anxious mom can hear that everything’s fine with her child.

But as a result, it was me and my husband who got psychological counselling. Unconsciously I wanted to load up my child and Tatiana with the things that were mine. After we met I realized very simple yet very important things:

1. It’s important to see a person „that was given to you“ in your child and not to try to compare his qualities to an ideal 6 year old boy that lives only in my head. To observe and not to compare!

2. I need to separate my experience (me as a child – my parents) from our experience with my son.

3. Let him get his own experience even if it’s negative. I let go – he grows up.

Feedback on massage and baby swimming

quote

Yesterday we swam in a big bath. Everything went alright. He still guggles a lot but not as last time. The bath is quite small, he can touch the bottom with the legs…

But we’ll hold on for another month. Few times he got upset after diving, but I comforted him and when I took him out of water he was in a happy mood. He’s quite nervous in general now, always wants to be held, apparently it’s some kind of phase. In general, everything’s OK.

Thanks a lot again! We’re looking forward to the swimming pool.

Andrey has rolled onto his belly today. I was as shocked just as he was.

I was looking forward to Tania’s massage since the little one was born. And finally it happened! Her attitude to the baby, her voice, and, what’s most important, her hands have turned this hour into pure happiness. And just after a week our boy has rolled onto his belly all by himself.

Thank you Tania for your precious hands and recommendations!

What was in the beginning? Oscar could’t roll onto his belly and was quite tense, Oliver could roll onto the belly but only from one side and always turned his head only to one side, didn’t want to look straight long.

The head turn was completely corrected, the little one rolls over to both sides and there’s no more asymmetry.

Now everything’s alright, the boys started trying to sit up both in the highchair and in the stroller, they are reaching forward and trying to grab something to sit. Oscar crawls back and tucks the legs in to crawl forward but he cannot do it yet. Oliver raises his bottom very high, stands on his knees, I feel like they are both about to start crawling.

Tania, our kid is the star of the local beach!

Thank you for your lessons! He’s not afraid of water at all, can dive for an hour, we can’t drag him out of water. Everyone is amazed at how he dives.

Oh yeah, he’s incredibly happy! I just see other children and they are not like that! All of them are afraid, parents are afraid for them, they get into water with tears. And our Miron runs into the sea the moment he sees it and dives right away.

I’d like to share the success of our little girls after several sessions of massage and swimming with Tania.

Before that the girls were actively crawling on the belly but they couldn’t get on all fours for quite long, they also couldn’t get into a sitting position.

Although they were 11 months old I didn’t sit them up. After the very first session the girls started trying to get on all fours, pull themselves up and stand up. Without hesitation we continued working with Tania. After three or four sessions the older of the two started sitting down by herself. Their backs and upper bodies got stronger and the girls are more confident moving. We keep working and we hope that after a few more sessions they will get more active, get better in sitting and standing and they will be able to sit down safely.

Besides all the important things I’ve already mentioned, the girls really enjoy exercising on the ball and swimming in the bath. And I, as a mom, always find communication with Tania and her recommendations considering babies behaviour very useful.

We’re grateful and we’re going to continue!

Malika, mom of twins Sabrina and Anisa (11 months)
