“Education demands only this: the utilization of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction.”
— Maria Montessori
Simplified Meaning:
For a child to learn well, it's important to use their natural abilities and interests. Think about how kids are naturally curious and always asking questions. If we let them explore these questions and find answers on their own, they learn better. For example, if a child loves dinosaurs, giving them books and activities about dinosaurs can help them learn more effectively than just following a strict lesson plan. It's like using their love for dinosaurs to help them learn how to read, count, or understand science. By focusing on what they are already interested in, we can make learning more fun and effective. This way of learning helps children become more independent and confident because they discover things on their own.
