The educator should do anything but advise the child to do what everybody does. He should rather rejoice when he sees in the child tendencies to deviation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility and evil with activity.
I think someone should explain to the child that it's OK to make mistakes. That's how we learn. When we compete, we make mistakes.
Children should be led into the right paths, not by severity, but by persuasion.
When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.
I think that the only way to teach is by example, as children will more easily follow what they see you do than what you tell them to do.
The educator wants the child to be finished at once and perfect. He forces upon the child an unnatural degree of self-mastery, a devotion to duty, a sense of honour - habits that adults get out of with astonishing rapidity.
If there is anything that we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.
Every child should be given a strong start to their education.
My husband and I believe that if you treat a child well and nurture his talent and physical ability, in a healthy environment, the child will succeed no matter what.
Education must be aimed at creating a wider imagination in the child, not at suppressing. The child's mind must be set free.
