Encourage Independence in Spanish 🌱 Give children simple phrases they can use while doing things for themselves. Try saying: 🇪🇸 Yo puedo hacerlo. I can do it. 🇪🇸 Necesito ayuda. I need help. 🇪🇸 Déjame intentar. Let me try. 🇪🇸 Ya terminé. I’m finished. Try it: Encourage your child to use one Spanish phrase independently each day. #SpanishAtHome #Montessori #Independence
