19 golden rules to help shape a stubborn child according to Montessori

"Parents give birth to children, God gives them their character." If people only rely on that saying, they will neglect to educate their children because even if they do, they will not improve. At that time, the concept of "well-educated" children will be abandoned.

Children are mini versions of adults. Children are blank slates and teaching them requires a lot of thinking to be successful. Even with children who have very special personalities, we can still shape them.

Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician and philosopher. In 1909, she introduced a method of educating children that is still recognized today. Many of the principles we use today stem from her set of truths:
