Children Learn Best Through Self-Correction

In this clip from the Now What? with Yogi Patel podcast, Montessori educator and author Paula Lillard Preschlack explains how children build resilience by recognizing and correcting their own mistakes.

Rather than being told they’re wrong, Montessori children are guided by materials and inner motivation—developing self-discipline, confidence, and problem-solving skills. What if we trusted our teams and families to learn the same way?

This is one of the core insights from Paula’s book, The Montessori Potential, and a guiding principle of Positive Discipline.
