Follow the Child

Rising Star Montessori:

“‘Follow the child’ does not mean let the child do what he wants. It is simply an acknowledgment that the child has his or her own pattern – that we need to take into account where the child is at, rather than impose our idea of what the child should learn now.”

*Favorite Quote:

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. – Nelson Mandela

You are the sum total of everything you have ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there.  Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive. – Maya Angelou

* Personal Message

A child is like a butterfly in the wind.  Some can fly higher than others, but each one flies the best it can.  Why compare one against the other?  Each one is different. Each one is special.  Each one is beautiful.
