"永远不要帮助一个孩子完成他觉得自己能完成的任务。"
— Maria Montessori

Simplified Meaning:
When a child thinks they can do something by themselves, it's important to let them try without stepping in to help. This builds their confidence and independence. For example, if a child thinks they can tie their own shoelaces, allowing them to practice, even if they make mistakes, teaches them perseverance and problem-solving. Over time, they'll gain the skill and belief that they can tackle other challenges on their own. Providing too much help can make them doubt their abilities and rely on others instead. Encouraging them to succeed on their own helps them grow and learn to trust their own capabilities. So, in everyday situations, it's better to stand back and let them try before offering assistance.
