The instructions of the teacher consist then merely in a hint, a touch-enough to give a start to the child. The rest develops of itself.

The child who concentrates is immensely happy

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

It is necessary, then, to give the child the possibility of developing according to the laws of his nature, so that he can become strong, and, having become strong, can do even more than we dared hope for him.

If the idea of the universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arouse his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying.

The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.

A child is a discoverer. He is an amorphous, splendid being in search of his own proper form.
