"Un niño que ha llegado a dominar sus actos a través de ejercicios largos y repetidos y que ha sido alentado por las actividades agradables e interesantes en las que ha participado siempre muestra un carácter específico y fuerte es dueño de sí mismo y sabe "
— Maria Montessori
Simplified Meaning:
When a child practices doing things on their own many times and enjoys these activities, they learn to take control of their actions. This means they understand how to behave properly and make good choices. For instance, think of a child who learns to play the piano by practicing every day. Over time, they become skilled and confident, not just in playing music but in managing their time and staying focused. Because they enjoy playing, they stay motivated and develop a strong sense of discipline. This child knows how to act in different situations, whether it's being patient during a long recital or working hard to improve. By practicing and enjoying what they do, they gain the ability to handle themselves well around other people, showing they are responsible and considerate.
