Children are NOT Empty Vessels featuring Kayla
Maria Montessori warned teachers and parents not to think of children as empty vessels to be filled or molded. No Indeed! Children are born with an incredible ability to self-educate and learn! The adult's responsibility is, instead, to create a supportive environment, observe their work, and let their insatiable curiosity lead the way. The principle is fundamental to Montessori's work, but even more than a century after she first formulated it, the idea remains as controversial as it is misunderstood. Join Aubrey and David as they talk about how to strike the balance between guidance and control.
