Translations:Obedience (Montessori)/1/en

From Montepedia

In Montessori education, Obedience is viewed as an act of will that develops gradually, manifesting itself "unexpectedly at the end of a long process of maturation."[1] During this developmental process, young children may show sporadic instances of obedience, but they may not be able to consistently demonstrate obedience. As children's will develops through the exercise of free choice, they start to acquire the self-discipline or self-control necessary for obedience.
