Children Adults Action

More From Maria Montessori

A child is an eager observer and is particularly attracted by the actions of the adults and wants to imitate them. in this regard an adult can have a kind of mission. he can be an inspiration for the child's actions, a kind of open book wherein a child can learn how to direct his own movements. but an adult, if he is to afford proper guidance, must always be calm and act slowly so that the child who is watching him can clearly see his actions in all their particulars.

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.

I bet if you look at the average teenager and the average adult, the average teenager has read more books in the last year than the average adult. now of course the adult would be all like, 'i'm busy, i got a job, i got stuff to do.' whatever! read! i mean, you're watching csi: miami. why would you be watching csi: miami, when you could be reading csi: miami, the novelization?
