“It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to each child the chance to fulfill his potential possibilities.” Dr. Maria Montessori
"If there is any responsibility in the cycle of life it must be that one generation owes to the next that strength by which it can come to face ultimate concerns in its own way." Erik Erikson
I like Montessori's approach to education teaching the students ways to develop their own skills at their own pace thus as the quote above goes giving the child the chance to fulfill his potential possibilities.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteThis quote from Montessori is so true. Sometimes parents and educators forget that our job is to help a child reach his or her potential and not to force them to meet our unrealistic expectations.
