Children touch everything

Children touch everything in the house. A mother will say that a child is naughty and bad when, for example, he wants the ink pot. She will give him toys and forbid him to touch her things. But the child will say, ‘I am not here for toys. My mission is to become a strong man.’
— Maria Montessori, The 1946 London Lectures

May we all strive to forever stay as curious as the child. 🙏♥️
