Play Is The Work Of The Child.

The Children Are Now Working As If I Did Not Exist.

With Younger Children The Greatest Reward Is To Be Able To Pass On To A New Stage In Each Subject. It Is A Punishment To A Young Child Not To Be Allowed To Use The Apparatus But To Sit Still And Do Nothing.

An Interesting Piece Of Work, Freely Chosen, Which Has The Virtue Of Inducing Concentration Rather Than Fatigue, Adds To The Child's Energies And Mental Capacities, And Leads Him To Self-mastery.

Growth Is Not Merely A Harmonious Increase In Size, But A Transformation.

The Child Can Only Develop Fully By Means Of Experience In His Environment. We Call Such Experience 'work'.
