Drawn from my three-year immersion for the film Let the Child Be the Guide, my research, and my Montessori teacher training (AMI), this quote is an excerpt from a thematic selection I compiled to remove the primary obstacle to education: our adult prejudices. This post presents one of the themes from this collection, designed to transform, step by step, our gaze upon the child.
“To want to develop here the memory, there the will, elsewhere the intelligence, and in another place the affectivity, is arbitrary. One cannot address one faculty of the person without it having repercussions on all the others.” — Maria Montessori, International Course 1934
