Many people question the reasoning or the importance behind
children engaging in practical life activities or Montessori Exercises. Some say, “They will have their whole life to

Exercises is to help the child gain control in the coordination of his
movement and to learn in a more interactive way, and to adapt and contribute in the
society. These contributions help children gain huge amounts of self-pride in
what they are able to accomplish. It is
therefore important to “teach teaching, not correcting” in order to allow the
child to be a fully functional member in his own society.
