Thoughts about blogging...

Thoughts from Maria Montessori:

"At about a year and a half, the child discovers another fact, and that is that each thing has its own name."

(The Absorbent Mind, p.113)

Thoughts from Maria Montessori:

"At one year of age the child says his first intentional word…his babbling has a purpose, and this intention is a proof of conscious intelligence…He becomes ever more aware that language refers to his surroundings, and his wish to master it consciously becomes also greater….Subconsciously and unaided, he strains himself to learn, and this effort makes his success all the more astonishing."

(The Absorbent Mind, p. 111)

Thoughts from Maria Montessori:

"The child’s conquests of independence are the basic steps in what is called his “natural development”. In other words, if we observe natural development with sufficient care, we see that it can be defined as the gaining of successive levels of independence."
