Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children thrive when they learn to embrace difficulties as opportunities for growth. She said, 'The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, the children are now working as if I did not exist.' This independence and ability to face challenges head-on are hallmarks of resilience.In traditional education, failure is often seen as something negative, but in Montessori, mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities. Instead of being afraid of failure, children are encouraged to try, reflect, and improve—a concept closely aligned with psychologist Carol Dweck’s growth mindset theory, which suggests that intelligence and abilities can be developed through effort and learning.Think about a time when you faced a challenge and grew stronger because of it.
