Montessori himself thinks that making children feel quiet is the first step in learning to listen. She said that listening practice must start with all stillness and silence, and then slowly perceive the sounds and noises produced by the actions. Listening quietly is not only demanding for adults, but also a big challenge for children. By listening, children's hearing can be improved.
In this way, you can hear more subtle sounds, which is just in line with Montessori's saying that sensory exercise is basically to help individuals perceive the smallest external stimuli.
Basic principles of Montessori education;
1, child-centered. Oppose the adult-centered teaching concept and regard children as independent individuals different from adults.
2. Oppose spoon-feeding teaching. It is advocated to start with daily life training, with a good learning environment and rich teaching AIDS, so that children can learn spontaneously and actively and build their own perfect personality.
3. Grasp the sensitive period of children. Follow the characteristics of sensitive learning and get the maximum learning effect.
4. Teachers play the role of facilitators. Teachers must have a deep understanding of children's spiritual world and know their children's development like the back of their hands, so as to provide appropriate and timely help and guidance to children.
5. Cultivation of complete personality. The biggest purpose of preschool education is to help children normalize.
