Translations:Independence (Montessori)/1/en
From Montepedia
In Montessori education, Independence is a fundamental principle that aims to foster not just self-reliance, but also a range of competencies and self-regulatory skills in children.[1] Normal developmental milestones such as weaning, walking, talking, etc., are viewed as a series of events that enable the child to achieve increased individuation, autonomy, and self-regulation. Throughout the four planes of development, the child and young adult continually seek to become more independent, echoing the sentiment, "Help me to help myself."
