Free-range Children
July 31, 2020
Jesse McCarthy
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
