There are two realities that must bring at the same time. Discipline and the inner Freedom are goals for the education of children. It is our purpose inner discipline.

1. The child of stade of chaos:
  • Voluntary mouvements are disordered
  • Another feature that always accompanies the previous one, is the difficulty or inability to fix this attention on things true
  • The third phenomenon - concurrent to the other two - is a tendency to imitate constantly growing
2. The awakening of the child:

The teacher must find his voice and throught this mind the best solution. Each case is different and must respond by reflecting

3. The apparent order:

The teacher must be calm, patient end vigilant. His voice must reach children for direct or urge
The master must perform two different functions: have a look for all the children and give a individual lessons, that is to say the material regularly offer by showing how to use it accurately. The teacher must be accurate and meaning in his presentation of the material

4. Discipline:

Free choice is already the result of the construction. The possibility of free choice is allowed upstream if we gave the opportunity for the child to choose. Once the child is able to use his free choice, the teacher no longer concerned him
