Summary

This quote by Maria Montessori conveys the idea that true discipline can only be achieved when an individual has the freedom to express themselves and make choices. It emphasizes that discipline is not about suppressing one's voice or restricting their movements, as this would result in the destruction of their individuality rather than fostering discipline. Instead, it suggests that discipline should allow for individual growth, autonomy, and self-regulation within certain bounds.
