At IMS Sotogrande, Method right child is one of the key topics we explore in Montessori education. It is unlikely that a method characterized by its adaptability to the individual differences of each child will not be suitable for any particular child. Next, we will name the most relevant characteristics of this method in relation to its ability to adapt to each child:
What is Method right child?
- Active Role of the Child:The child plays an active role, while adults become guides, with the mission of guaranteeing an adequate environment where affection, understanding and trust prevail.
- Promotes cognitive development:It promotes the development of the child’s cognitive functions, especially creativity, while enhancing social skills and promoting autonomy.
- Individually paced activities:The activities are designed for each child to do individually according to their learning pace.
- Stimulates extensive cognitive development:Montessori stimulates the almost unlimited development of the child’s cognitive abilities. In practice, children can learn everything they are capable of assimilating, since they manage their own learning through the educational resources provided by adults. With no standards to follow, children are free to unleash their creativity, imagination, memory, attention and thinking.
Considering these characteristics, it is clear that this method is valid for any child, no matter how varied their personalities, qualities and interests may be. As long as we prioritize the child, the scope of learning will be greater.
