- Often I find myself pushing children along and nudging them to go on to the next topic. Typically this is caused by me being bored to give them the same problems over and over again and partially from my own impatience of not seeing progress. - After seeing one child progress over months and grow in confidence to finally take the next step on [[2019-02-27]] I'm convinced that it's okay to allow children to repeat something until they feel comfortable and feel like they are masters. Children will automatically get bored and ask to move on to the next topic. - In our workshop with a Montessori trainer she espoused a similar view. It might seem boring to us but it's important to make sure the child is comfortable and confident before moving to the next topic.
