Dr. Maria Montessori discovered that children possessed different and higher qualities than those we usually attribute to them. One of these qualities is that children have a deep sense of personal dignity just as adults do. They want to be capable and held in high regard. Children want to be able to do things for themselves. They can get embarrassed and can feel ashamed. For example, a child would rather tie his own shoes than have them tied for them.
