Children are not only sensitive to silence, but also to a voice which calls them ... Out of that silence.

Adults have not understood children or adolescents and they are, as a consequence, in continual conflict with them.

At birth, the child leaves a person - his mother's womb - and this makes him independent of her bodily functions. The baby is next endowed with an urge, or need, to face the out world and to absorb it. We might say that he is born with 'the psychology of world conquest.' By absorbing what he finds about him, he forms his own personality.

This system in which a child is constantly moving objects with his hands and actively exercising his senses, also takes into account a child's special aptitude for mathematics. When they leave the material, the children very easily reach the point where they wish to write out the operation. They can thus carryout an abstract mental operation and acquire a kind of natural and spontaneous inclination for mental calculations.

The child, in fact, once he feels sure of himself, will no longer seek the approval of authority after every step.

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

The senses, being the explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
