Human behavior is not only
instinctual but humans have potentialities which are only activated by truly
living, by interacting with the environment, the people and things, around him.
Adults can support this activation or be obstacles to its development.
Education itself can be transformed only when it utilizes the natural order of
the human tendencies, recognizing and respecting them. The Montessori Method is
based on tendencies which have always existed; there is nothing new in these
tendencies, though the listing and emphasis of them is innovative in the realm
of education and of living life. These tendencies come from the spiritual part
of the human life. “The small child is spiritual. He is the perpetrator of all that is spiritual. He is the link in the long chain of history that ensures human evolution (towards perfection).”[1]
