Six practical habits that work together
Each habit is a small, everyday skill. Together, they help children take more responsibility for what they can already understand and do.
Following Instructions
"I know what I need to do."
Self-Control
"I can pause before I act."
Independence
"I'll try first, and ask for help when I need it."
Calmness
"I can settle and come back to what I'm doing."
Willingness to Act
"I don't feel like it, but I can begin."
Practice
"I'll have another go."
How Langford works
Choose a learning focus
Age-appropriate programs include words, numbers, early literacy, languages and mental maths.
Practise through short sessions
Children follow guided activities, with opportunities to listen, begin, keep going and learn from mistakes.
Give support as needed
Adults provide clear guidance and time to try. As children become more familiar with the routine, they can gradually do more for themselves.

Langford for schoolsWhat we've observed
Between 2016 and 2019, more than 10,000 students in Chile and Peru participated in assessments of the Bamboo Mental Maths program. On average, the number of correct answers approximately doubled between the initial and final assessments. These are before-and-after assessment records, not controlled trial results. Other factors may have contributed to the changes, and individual results vary.

Gabriela Mistral School, Chile: a class during a Langford session.
"I achieved a change in the children, in their self-control. And I stopped shouting."
"The Langford Method teaches us to trust our students."
"Now they really believe in themselves, in their work, and that they can do it."
Jardín Pilai, Chile
At Jardín Pilai, an early childhood centre in Chile, children aged 2 to 4 took part in the Langford Method through short daily activities. Director Margarita Gómez describes children who became more independent, attentive and confident, followed instructions and needed less adult help.
