How to Get Kids to Do Chores: Does the Maya Method Work?
- adolph 5y agoIt reads like NPR is just rehashing Montessori at home and calling it Maya. Maybe there should be a term for cooperative engagement with children in ways similar to what Dr. Montessori documented without calling it "Montessori." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montessori_education The Montessori method of education is a system of education for young children that seeks to develop natural interests and activities rather than use formal teaching methods. It was developed by physician Maria Montessori. It emphasizes independence and it views children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a sufficiently supportive and well-prepared learning environment. It discourages some conventional measures of achievement, such as grades and tests. Montessori developed her theories in the early 1900s through scientific experimentation with her students; the method has since been used in many parts of the world, in public and private schools alike.
