She just enjoys learning while she plays .There is lot of improvement in her.At this point of time i felt like sharing few thoughts which i had learnt in my Montessori course .
Children have tremendous capacity to absorb universal details of life during their early years of 3-6. Before the age of six they should be exposed to the subjects of science and mathematics, and taught the skills of reading and writing. If early educational experience is pleasurable and stimulating, the child will achieve long-term academic excellence.
It is the duty of elders to observe and nurture their child’s development. Regardless of the child’s ability, challenging his intellect should be made a joyful experience for her. If it causes irritation and fatigue to the child, it implies that we are employing a wrong approach. Kids learn a ton from new experiences. Learning should always be made enjoyable and effortless for them. Teaching is not about laboriously stuffing information into their little minds. It is all about teaching them in a way they naturally learn, filled with experiences, observation and play.
We, as parents and teachers should exhibit patience in making them learn daily chores and encourage them to think independently .We should create a positive and fearless environment and help them build their own mental strength. We should judiciously provide them umpteen opportunities to work, play and enjoy the freedom to explore. Neglect and dominance may cause long term defect in the child’s intellect and character, which can get irreparable. If we have to avoid long term repercussions, we have to raise our kids to the fullest realization of their individual potential.
Society considers university as an important segment of one’s education where as an individual’s success in life depends on her innate character, which is built during childhood. A child’s physical, emotional, psychological, social and intellectual abilities should be nourished and developed during these early years. The cost of bringing up children with love and care is much lesser than trying to solve their problem a generation from now.
