Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the bbpress domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Dewey, Piaget, and Frosted Mini Wheats

As Montessorians, we know that our role as guides is to "Stand by, remain silent..." (Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents, 2017: 3). In The Absorbent Mind, we read that "The teacher, now, must be most careful. Not to interfere means to to interfere in any way... Praise, help, or even a look, may be enough to interrupt him, or destroy the activity" (The Absorbent Mind, 2007: 255).
This blog post by Alfie Kohn offers further insight into the detriments of praise and rewards.
