Development of skills through observation, mentoring, practice and effort. It is the way that Inuit train children, but is also the way that educators should be delivering programs to children. Inuit consider making mistakes as a crucial part of growing up. Children were encouraged to try things and learn improve from their mistakes. Playing is a great way to practice learning from mistakes. Even though most children learn play skills naturally, sometimes families and teachers have develop many other skills young children need for the future, including social skills, taking turns, sharing and working cooperatively cognitive skills: problem-solving skills, early academic skills

communication skills: responding to others, asking questions. physical skills: body awareness, fine and gross motor coordination

It means to help them understand this is how you need to do, we all do this with that because this is how we are taught at a young age too.guiding is to show how to do a project is done, rather then teaching them. When teaching the children is like explaining how to something.

Both Inuit and Montessori to allow each child to develop at his or her own rate. We the educator have the knowledge of what we know and how to do the project that the children would learn on the project we teach to them.

What guiding meaning Montessori philosophies and in Inuit ways – Jolene

In my understanding guiding children in Montessori philosophies is that it is working with a child one on one when the child is indeed of a special needs worker, when the child has a disability, that child needs more attention then other children around them. The child is more into sensory activities, working with hands on activities, knowing their surroundings. The caregiver for the child needs a lot of patience on teaching the child as they are slower in learning. The child also needs an educator who will work to make sure the child is on track of learning what other children are learning in the facility.

Guiding children in Inuit way is teaching them the traditional way our ancestors grew up. Young boys were taught on how to hunt when they follow their fathers or an older adult male when going out on the land, they would go out to look for animals to provide for their family to have food on their table, learn their surroundings and names of the places they hunt on, to respect the land, learn to aim with a gun or other hunting tools, bringing a qulliq for when they need a shelter to keep warm and how to light it when it needs to be used.

Young girls were taught to sew to make clothing for family so they can keep warm, how to prepare food, learning to do skinning and look after or help around the house.
