“I am very sure that my children thrive on structure and need boundaries. I know my children need to know what time they are going to bed or how many more minutes until they are leaving for school, and so I have imposed a structure that allows them to know where they are all day long, every day in life.” KnowsNeedsChildrenLongSchoolMinutesBedStructureLeavingBoundariesMy ChildrenThrive Author:Jessica Seinfeld

And they build up an enormous self-esteem and feeling of power over the external world through their own capacities.” IfsWorldWantChildrenSelfPlayFeelingsSelf EsteemBuildingProjectsCreatingCapacityStructureEnormousEsteemInternals Author:Joseph Chilton Pearce
“Freedom without organization of work would be useless. The child left free without means of work would go to waste, just as a new-born baby, if left free without nourishment, would die of starvation.The organization of the work, therefore, is the cornerstone of this new structure of goodness [in education], but even that organization would be in vain without the liberty to make use of it.” IfsMeanChildrenUseWould BeDiesLeftBornLibertyBabyGoodnessWasteOrganizationStructureUselessVainStarvationNourishmentCornerstones Book:Montessori's Own Handbook Source: Montessori's Own Handbook
