Study Guide: This is How We Montessori: To Teach is to Touch Lives Forever

By Paul Tillich

"Wait While Observing" Montessori Don't disturb the kid's concentration "... we have learned from him certain fundamental principles of psychology. One is that the child must learn by his own individual activity, being given mental freedom to take what he needs, and not to be questioned in his choice. Our teaching must only answer the mental needs of the child, never dictate them. Just as a small child cannot be still because he is in need of coordinating his movements, so the older child, who may seem troublesome in his curiosity over the why, what and wherefore of everything he sees, is building up his mind by this mental activity, and must be given a wide field of culture on which to feed." (To Educate the Human Potential) "An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves thespiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and thepreparation of young people to understand the times in which they live."
