The children are now working as if I did not exist.

The greatest source of discouragement is the conviction that one is unable to do something

To let the child do as he likes when he has not yet developed any powers of control is to betray the idea of freedom.

At about a year and a half, the child discovers another fact, and that is that each thing has its own name.

An adult who does not understand that a child needs to use his hands and does not recognize this as the first manifestation of an instinct for work can be an obstacle to the child's development

Freedom in intellectual work is found to be the basis of internal discipline.

The essential thing is to arouse such an interest that it engages the child’s whole personality.
