Quotes From DANCE WITH ME IN THE HEART

 

"Babies and children feel nurture and care as love. So we do when we are ill, so do our elders when they are in rest homes. Nurture and Care." ~Dance with me in the Heart 

"Dare to speak your perspective, respectfully, in order to facilitate understanding.

Dare to hear their perspective, respectfully, in order to understand.

Dare to keep the relationship open, and that could mean agreeing to disagree, respectfully." ~Dance with me in the heart 

"Every one of us knows the feeling when someone has time for us, when they are relaxed in our presence, and when they want to share what's going on for them with us. We also know when they are interested in what is up for us and what's important in our world. …// Conversely, we are good at detecting when others aren’t interested, or at least, aren’t prepared to stop and pay us their attention. In our busy lives this impacts on all of us, but especially on our children. Things that would be attended to - and let go - can build up. Misunderstandings and worries can get out of hand." ~Dance with me in the Heart, Growing Healthy Relationships Takes Time

"Ideally, the teacher knows the genetically encoded play patterns and intelligences of the human child. Aware of these biological patterns of unfolding child development, teachers procure and scavenge materials to put the child ‘in the driver's seat’.” ~Dance with me in the heart

“If, in a relationship we have to do what another demands in order to keep them happy, the casualty is our own true self.

“It is in the processes of imagining, reckoning, creating, making etc that the learning happens, that knowledge is made and skills are perfected." ~Dance with me in the heart

"Set aside time to hang out and listen. Listening is the glue of relationship." ~Dance with me in the Heart

“Speak good things

Words have wings"

~Dance with me in the Heart

Our children download the language we speak, in the same accent, using the vocabulary we use, and - and this is the sobering bit - using the same language-thought patterns and intonation. Our words become their inner voice which will either acknowledge them or dismiss them, encourage them or taunt them, lift them or flatten them. We don't have to be psychologists to work out the healthy option. Speak good things. We can do this.” ~Dance with me in the Heart

"So many children are drawn to collecting stones. Every outing in Nature is an opportunity to extend the Stone Family that resides in their bedroom, under the bed, in the wardrobe, on the dresser. Many Indigenous Nations refer to the stones and rocks as Grandmothers, Ancestors who were here before the plants and animals, Ancestors who hold an ancient wisdom. Maybe our children can still feel that wisdom in their soul." ~Dance with me in the heart lifted from Treasure Stones 

“The Curiosity Approach”

Babies are born curious. 

Curiosity begins exploration. 

Exploration means getting into things.

Getting into things means making sense of the world.

Making sense of the world raises more questions.

More questions mean intelligence unfolding.

So maybe we'd be better to Stop! 

Breathe. 

And smile at our little scientists rather than yell at them.

~Dance with me in the heart 

"The school system we have all been marinated in has left many of us with an interesting take on the nature of intelligence. Few of us are aware that there are many different aspects to human intelligence, and that the traditional education uses-tests-and-measures just a small fraction of the intelligence-potentialities each student is born with." ~Dance with me in the heart

"... warm, secure emotional-nurturing is the one thing every baby is expecting, from birth onward. The bonded relationship is the baby’s first ‘romance’ with Life." ~Dance with me in the Heart

"You can't get blood out of a stone."

"Everyone talks about peace but no one educates for peace. In this world, they educate for competition, and competition is the beginning of any war. When educating to cooperate and owe each other solidarity, that day we will be educating for peace." ~Maria Montessori, Peaceful Children, Peaceful World 

"How often is the soul of man - especially that of a child - deprived because one does not put him in contact with nature? ~Maria Montessori

“It is not enough for the teacher to love the  child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.” ~Maria Montessori 

“The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the earth”. ~Maria Montessori

"The things he sees are not just  remembered; they form a part of his soul." ~Maria Montessori 

“There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees…in a real forest. Something emanates from those trees which speaks to the soul, something no book, no museum, is capable of giving … How often is the soul of man - especially that of a child - deprived because one does not put him in contact with nature.” ~Maria Montessori
