An educational method that shall have liberty as its basis must intervene to help the child to a conquest of liberty. That is to say, his training must be such as shall help him to diminish as much as possible the social bonds which limit his activity.
Maria Montessori
These words reveal the child’s inner needs ‘Help me to do it alone’.
