Maria Montessori
In the psychological realm of relationship between teacher and child, the teacher's part and its techniques are analogous to those of the valet they are to serve, and to serve well: to serve the spirit.
Maria Montessori
Little children, from the moment in which they are weaned, are making their way toward independence.
Maria Montessori
At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.
