Great tact and delicacy is necessary for the care of the mind of a child from three to six years, and an adult can have very little of it.

It is necessary for the teacher to guide the child without letting him feel her presence too much, so that she may always be ready to supply the desired help, but may never be the obstacle between the child and his experience.

Within the child lies the fate of the future.

A new education from birth onwards must be built up. Education must be reconstructed and based on the law of nature and not on the preconceived notions and prejudices of adult society.

What advice can we give to new mothers? Their children need to work at an interesting occupation: they should not be helped unnecessarily, nor interrupted, once they have begun to do something intelligent.

Only when the child is able to identify its own center with the center of the universe does education really begin.

To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.
