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

Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

Since it is through movement that the will realises itself, we should assist a child in his attempts to put his will into act.

It is in the encounter of the maternal guiding instincts with the sensitive periods of the newly born that conscious love develops between parent and child.

Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur.

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.

But if for the physical life it is necessary to have the child exposed to the vivifying forces of nature, it is also necessary for his psychical life to place the soul of the child in contact with creation.
