Translations:Casa dei Bambini (Montessori)/3/en

• "The first idea that the child must acquire, in order to be actively disciplined, is that of the difference between good and evil; and the task of the educator lies in seeing that the child does not confound good with immobility, and evil with activity, as often happens in the case of the old-time discipline... And all this should be achieved in the way we have already indicated, by operating on the environment, not on the child."
