“Help me to help others”
Cooperation and solidarity.
These children are prepared to resolve problems, chose among different alternatives and handle their time well.
“In this world, they educate for competition, and competition is the beginning of any war. When educating to cooperate and owe each other solidarity, that day we will be educating for peace”
Maria Montessori
These people received Montessori education: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Anne Frank, Jeff Bezos (Founder of Amazon), Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Co-Founders of Google), Katherine Graham (publisher and owner of The Washington Post), Jimmy Wales (creator of Wikipedia), Peter Drucker (Management Guru), Julia Child (celebrity chef) and Friedensreich Hundertwasser (Painter and architect).
Sensitive periods. They are a window of opportunity. This is the period when the child is ready and receptive to learn a specific skill. During this, the child performs the learning process spontaneously, with a high degree of concentration and repeating the exercise until he/she considers him/herself satisfied.
