Subverting the traditional cognition of subject education
In Montessori's view of children, discipline education is not a simple control and command, but by stimulating children's "internal discipline", so that they can grow naturally in greater freedom. This paper will discuss the true meaning of discipline education, and call for respecting children's free nature, so that discipline education can really become a booster for children's growth.

Children's free nature

Discipline education is not equal to suppressing freedom. Children's autonomy should be respected, not suffocated by the teacher's stale "conventional" education.

Incentive of internal discipline

The real significance of discipline education is to stimulate children's "inner discipline" and let children grow naturally in greater freedom. A person can be his own master and adjust his behavior according to the changes of the situation and his own rules. This kind of discipline is not maintained by indoctrination and suppression from the outside, but based on the natural growth of "internal discipline" from the inside out.

Teacher's misunderstanding

On the other hand, some teachers think that regular education is to strictly control children and make them obey the rules and listen to their teachers. In this disciplined education mode, children's autonomy is stifled by the teacher's stale "conventional" education.

Autonomy of artistic activities

Even the art activities that best reflect children's autonomy and creativity are firmly controlled by the teacher's so-called discipline: from the choice of painting content, to when to start painting, and then to how to color, children should ask the teacher carefully and get the teacher's permission before they can start.

Call for respect for children's free nature

Let's appeal together: respect children's free nature, and let discipline education really help children grow up, instead of becoming the shackles of children's development!
