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.
“A will that makes the individual want what he does leads him on the path of conscious development. Our children, by spontaneously choosing their work and repeating the chosen exercise, develop an awareness of their own actions.” — Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
