"Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world."
- Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori's statement is simple and effective. A child's development is subjected to many various factors and his/her potential can be boundless. Children are able to develop at rapid speeds and act like sponges that soak up knowledge and experiences. This quote also ties in with how opportunity is a key factor in child development as potential can only be extended if the situation allows for it and many children are unfortunately unable to be exposed to such opportunities.
Wow,I totally agree with Maria. In addition I would like to add that it is important to be specific about what that potential is. Music, drawing, dancing are often overlooked and a sociological loss. I also wanted to thank you for your enlightening posts and contributions in this class. Aloha
