1, independent

Montessori education method makes the dribs and drabs of actions used in daily life, such as pouring water, tying buttons, scooping with a spoon and using scissors, into purposeful Montessori activities to help children acquire these basic skills. When children can do something by themselves, their independence will be improved, and their self-confidence and self-esteem will be enhanced, which are all necessary qualities for their future growth.

Step 2 observe

Observation lasts for a period of time, not a certain point in time. Observation must put aside all prejudices and only observe what is seen. When a child pushes an object to move, he may want to move it somewhere, but it may be too heavy and too big to finish. At this time, you can give him a trolley to carry according to his needs. In short, observation records can help us understand children.

3. Follow the needs of children

Don't tell them what to do and what to do. Give children the freedom to choose what they want and need to do. You can give him some suggestions on different activities for him to choose from.

4. Self-correction

Children make mistakes. They will knock over water or drop food on the ground. At this time, there is no need to raise your voice to accuse them. We should calmly point out this mistake.

When children make mistakes, we educate them in a peaceful way, give them some freedom and choice space, encourage and support their choices under the premise of ensuring safety, satisfy their desire for exploration, observe their needs and meet this demand, which is the key to help children fully develop their potential.

5. A prepared environment

A prepared environment is an important part of Montessori. Children learn from adults by establishing contacts in a prepared environment. In this prepared environment, all kinds of work are set up to meet the needs of children, so that children can move freely and choose. In order to ensure that children can explore freely in it safely, all work AIDS should be in a clean and undamaged state and can be used immediately.

6. An absorbing mind

Children under the age of three can learn things without deliberate teaching. They absorb things from the environment through feeling. Therefore, it is emphasized that the setting of the environment must be complete and positive, because children absorb everything in the environment indiscriminately.

7, cancel the reward and punishment system

The value of the thing itself is the most reliable primitive force, which will not exist because of the existence of external stimuli, nor will it disappear because of the disappearance of external stimuli.

Generally speaking, Montessori believes that freedom is the most important foundation for children's growth, and educators should play the role of observers and guides, actively guide children to understand the meaning and value of things themselves, and abandon external stimuli, thus eventually triggering children's self-management and self-realization.
