At least that is what Maria Montessori thought.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The Montessori Method is based on the principle that children should have complete freedom to learn and develop independently in a stimulating environment of understanding and affection. Montessori proposed that children have an immense capacity to absorb knowledge, initially on a subconscious level and later through conscious understanding. This approach empowers the child to take an active role in their own learning journey.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Montessori education also pays special attention to love and understanding of parents towards their children<\/span><b>\u2014 <\/b>a love based on respect, freedom, responsibility and the establishment of clear but unrestrictive limits, where trust, patience and empathy become the protagonists.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ab1a7a\" data-id=\"7ab1a7a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-200e5b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"200e5b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 11-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/montessorifamilycenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Montessori_Parenting_Image_7.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-728\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/montessorifamilycenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Montessori_Parenting_Image_7.png 677w, https:\/\/montessorifamilycenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Montessori_Parenting_Image_7-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/montessorifamilycenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Montessori_Parenting_Image_7-600x700.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u201c\ufeffBefore we can give help, we must understand; we must follow the path from childhood to adulthood.
