More quotes by Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.
Maria Montessori
The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.
Maria Montessori
The observation of the way in which the children pass from the first disordered movements to those which are spontaneous and ordered -- this is the book of the teacher this is the book which must inspire her actions . . .
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori

Teach by teaching, not by correcting

No one who has ever done anything really great or successful has ever done it simply because he was attracted by what we call a 'reward' or by the fear of what we call a 'punishment.'
Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori
If a child finds no stimuli for the activities which would contribute to his development, he is attracted simply to 'things' and desires to posses them.
Maria Montessori
Except when he has regressive tendencies, the child's nature is to aim directly and energetically at functional independence.
Maria Montessori
To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.
Maria Montessori
The child will reveal himself through work.
Maria Montessori
The objects in our system are instead a help to the child himself, he chooses what he wants for his own use, and works with it according to his own needs, tendencies and special interests. In this way, the objects become a means of growth.
