Observing children for who they are without judgement or preconceived ideas is an important skill to develop if we are to nurture their immense potential.

“This idea, that life acts of itself, and that in order to study it, to divine its secrets or to direct its activity, it is necessary to observe it and to understand it without intervening — this idea, I say, is very difficult for anyone to assimilate and to put into practice.” – Dr. Maria Montessori
