Free-range Children

Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and, when the grass of the meadows is damp with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning as it wakes every living creature that divides its day between waking and sleeping.
— Maria Montessori, Discovery of the Child

Here’s to our offering children a “range” within which they are free to enjoy this great world of ours. 🙏❤️ | #montessori #children #freedomwithinlimits
