I Love MontessoriMaria Montessori, My Quote of the DayJuly 21, 2008 by Miss Norma | No comments
“Whoever touches the life of the child, touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs towards the infinite future.”
~Maria Montessori
As I looked for a mug for coffee at work I saw the quote on a mug. I so agree with this quote. I strongly believe that us as teachers have so much influence on the child and their future. It is true the human soul lives in the past and the future. Anything any one person does affects so many other things in life. To touch a child’s life is to touch that entire being. To be able to influence a child is such a big privilege and honor and anyone that has that ability should be greatful and careful on how they are going to use it. Most important, that person should only use that privilege in a positive way. To Influence a child is the same as influencing the future and the world.
I always keep in mind that what I do, not everyone can do. That I should be only a role model to the child. In being that role model I am that child’s pass into how and what that child would be to the future. My mission is to have the child learn in a safe and happy environment where he can make choices and learn respect and appreciation for it. Once the child is happy, learns to make choices, respects, and appreciates that child is on the way to being successful.
