When I Think of Child Development...

"Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed"
Maria Montessori

  1. Hello Ghayna,
    This quote make so much sense. When we allow the child to work at a task independently we promote problem-solving skills and enhance the child's positive sense of self.

    As a Montessori teacher this is a quote that we often give to parents. It is also one of my favorites and I can't believe that I missed it when I put my quotes on my blog. Thank you for sharing new information through out this course. Good luck with the next class.

  3. Hi Ghayna,

    The quote is wonderful and I will use it for further reference. It is hard sometimes to realize that children can think for themselves, although, it may not be what we think it should be, it is their way of thinking about the problem and we must honor their thinking process.

    It has been wonderful being in class with you again. You have so many wonderful insights about the subject matter and I truly hope to work with you again. I hope your next class is exciting and allows you to continue with your words of wisdom.
