What Happened To Tawney Stone

Parents and children

The Montessori method is a wealth of fascinating. It is also challenging because it involves a real "conversion" of the educator, to serve the child. Sometimes I talk with parents who wonder if they can run "more or less" in the Montessori method. Many find this attractive pedagogy. Earnings for the development of the child appears sufficiently obvious. But what that means we do not? What to do when we can not stay home? What to do when there are no Montessori schools in our region? Education
perfect does not exist because the teacher can always improve. It should therefore be realistic and see what he can do in a given context. But who wants to serve the child's development through the stages they go through, the hardest task will be to understand what it is to really be able to accompany him. Children are often expected that they become "Minds." But in reality we are very rough on the "how" that bases all educational development. In questioning the educational issues, then we prefer to delegate this responsibility to the school and its professionals.
The relationship between parents and children that education will necessarily pass through this channel ... whatever option is chosen otherwise. And if the purpose of education is not the production of "Minds" but the formation of personalities who are passionate about life, parents retain a vital role in shaping that will ensure growth of the child. In a conference (The child in family) found in the collection of writings " Dem Leben Helfen " Maria Montessori calls the "creation" of new mothers and new fathers.
To raise our awareness of educators it shows that too often we do not take seriously the children. Are people really to us? She relates the story of a child who's mother told each year history of Santa Claus. This time, the child begins to laugh. Mom asks why. The child says he has long been known that Santa Claus does not exist. And it adds to the persistent questioning of the mother: "You looked so happy to tell the story ".... The roles are reversed because we're too high. So we are telling them we lower all kinds of stories, and they show us their psychic altitude by remarks they have the secret ...

CORRECTING AN ERROR OF OPTICAL
The stories told by Maria Montessori highlight the deep gap between our requirements of parents and the real needs of the child. Conflicts quickly arise. They rule by orders. Is forced obedience ... that does not than appearance. And confidence that the child needs to grow vanished like a dream transient. Defects ensue. They are readily attributed to "naturalness" of the child he will hasten to correct by some form of duress. The circle is complete ...
In reality, this forced submission which is the origin of the many defects of character which we ascribe to children. "They appear in children who have missed the possibility of a peaceful domestic development. (...) Often suffocates the adults in the child the instinct that drives him to act ... In short, it prevents need his mind to develop according to natural laws. And moving the child's activity on bad tracks. She turns to hundreds of unnecessary things or about toys that lack a real purpose. (...) The nervous system of children suffering from this fight and now doctors recognize that the cause of many neurological diseases are caused by this forced submission in childhood. Children often show symptoms such as insomnia dangerous, nocturnal anxieties, indigestion or stuttering. All these evils have the same causes. Parents are trying so valiantly to treat diseases of their children and improve their character. They exhaust their best forces to eliminate the evils which they themselves have finally done.
The situation is then. Glue analysis has many known situations. If we did a lot of progress today on hygiene body, there is still some way to go regarding the mental health of children. Maria Montessori invites us to release the soul of the child, watching her evolve from birth to watch over her. L child needs us to give him the means to follow the laws of nature without hindering at all times by a priori ignore her psychic abilities. The kids are hungry. Not by bread alone. The energy impetuous that animates constantly shows the power of their psychic needs.

THEY PROVIDE A SUITABLE
Rather than collecting toys whose interest does that retains too little because they are unsuited to their needs, Maria Montessori proposes to construct the house so that children can live as adults. "We must give the child an environment that belongs to him: a real small table, a small chair, a small clothing cabinet with drawers that can open the child himself, a little bed in which he can sleep in a pretty little quilt with which he may cover themselves and discover themselves. The home should be so organized that the child can actually live there. So we'll see all day working with her little hands before waiting impatiently when he can undress and put himself in his bed. He will take care of her furniture and ensure they stay in their place. We will then see another child, happy, calm, no tears, no tantrums, gentle and obedient. "
can see with great benefit to the work of Jeannette Toulemonde giving a thousand ideas to make planning home more viable children.

DEVELOP A SENSE OF OBSERVATION
Among the skills that adults must be developed to serve the child's ability to observe is certainly the most fundamental. It does not cost much to develop it. It nevertheless requires the time and inclination to spend this time to just observe. In doing so, adults will develop mechanisms that no book can bring.
This concern for the observation should begin at birth and daily practice even if only 10 or 15 several times a week. This helps to pinpoint the evolution of the child and his needs. When a small child "works" with a small subject to develop his ability to grip, we are sometimes able to remove her hands if the noise bothers us or if we have to pick it up several times after they fell. This is because in reality we are not able all the work that is at work in her small hands. The child gradually discovers all the faculties of his body. Only through the exercise and repetition that can be appropriated and gradually embody all his psychic potential. Regularly observing all these little things that we are mostly indifferent, we will discover the richness of their development. We will especially the ability to properly meet the needs of growth.

SUPPORT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THEIR ACTIVITY
The two skills that we expect to see occur are usually walking and language. Before purchasing these two skills that distinguishes humans from other species, the child will go through a thousand little learning. The trick is to accompany each movement without straining. The child will try to eat alone. It begins with the spoon handle. Cleanliness is not at the rendezvous. But rather act by leaving than holding his spoon, he actually learns faster and better ... ... And when he arrives in the sensitive period of the order he will ask us to wipe her mouth ... or clean any little bit of vegetable lying on the table. It is especially important not to repress these impulses learning. This is not always easy. This is the best way to avoid the development of psychic deviations.
HOST THEIR EMOTIONS AND ADMIT OUR MISTAKES
The susceptibility of children is too thin to take their feedback seriously. When it hurts, we say often: "This is nothing." This habit makes them feel that we deny their emotions while we are here to accompany . Furthermore, hosting their emotions, we give them the courage to continue their experiments. Finally, we show them by example how it is possible to host the suffering of someone. This will enable them to develop a genuine empathy that has nothing distracted listening. Maria Montessori
also insists on the question of the perfect image that sometimes we try to give our children. " It is not important that we be perfect in respect of our children, but it is important that we recognize our mistakes and we accept their remarks .

Quite a feasible ... at home without spending inordinate financial ... A final word may be ... Let's give our children the treasures of calm and silence ... There is no better food for their psychic equilibrium ...
