The objectives offered are never arbitrary: they correspond to the child\u2019s deepneeds and developmental stages. Every small daily progress thus becomes a source of confidence and inner satisfaction.  <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">One of the key challenges of this period is the acquisition of toilet learning and the progressive mastery of the body. The child gradually learns to recognize their needs, coordinate their movements, and take care of themselves. These learning experiences, which may seem simple to adults, represent true achievements for the child.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">In a prepared and secure environment, the child is encouraged to act independently: putting objects away, carrying items, dressing, or completing an activity they have started. Each successful experience strengthens their sense of competence and develops perseverance. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">Motivation is not driven by fantasy or external rewards, but by the deep pleasure of \u201cdoing it oneself\u201d and successfully completing a concrete action. The child gradually discovers that they are capable of acting on their environment. This confidence becomes the foundation of all future learning.  <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Children&#8217;s Community, a child&#8217;s motivation develops through the gradual achievement of independence, the joy of &#8216;doing it myself,&#8217; and the confidence gained through concrete experiences adapted to their development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2651735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2651736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-childrens-community"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2651736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2651736"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2651736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2651755,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2651736\/revisions\/2651755"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2651735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2651736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2651736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/montessori-seeds.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2651736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
