When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him. Let us take the child out to show him real things instead of making objects which represent ideas and closing them up in cupboards.
The child will reveal himself through work.
Only practical work and experience lead the young to maturity.
The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one’s self.
No social problem is as universal as the oppression of the child
We must, therefore, quit our roles as jailers and instead take care to prepare an environment in which we do as little as possible to exhaust the child with our surveillance and instruction
