3. Introduction (1)
Social behaviour means, how to behave in the society? Here we
will focus on “Social Behaviour” and “Montessori method of
teaching” it.
When a child comes to the out side world from his home
environment he has to know how to behave in the society. For
this the child must be introduced with some code of behaviour
expected in the house of children.
Montessori method is an educational approach developed by an
Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori. They have
emphasized on:
Independence, freedom within limits and
respect for a child’s natural psychological,
physical and social development. Continue…

practiced in 20,000 schools nearly world wide,
serving a children from 0 to 18years.
now a days, all the schools are implementing both the
systems.

5. Ground rules for a Montessori
presentation (1)
We have to give an “invitation” like, “let us see today, how to
…… ?”.
We need to prepare the environment with necessary and
sufficient things or persons, which is called “preparation”.
We have to give a “statement” like “see carefully, how to
do……..”.
Now comes the “presentation” part, in which the ground rules
are..
consider the position and visbility of the children,
The child to whom I ask should only reply or response. Continue…
6. ask the children many questions like, “did I make
noise..etc” after the completion of presentation. These
questions should imply “control of error”. Specify the
“points of interest”.
give a conclusion like “this is the way we do…..”
repeat the presentation from different orientation.

7. What is a Social Behaviour?
The manner or behaviour we behave in which the opposite
person should not feel bad about us.
We or he should not suffer with that behaviour mentally or
physically.
So we should learn perfectly “how to behave in the
society?”
8. How to greet?
First let us see “how to greet a person?”
Keep your both the hands near the chest.
Join the palms first and join fingers one by one later starting
from thumb to little finger in order.
Bend a little towards the other person with a smile
and say “Namasthe”
9. How to talk?
Now, let us see “how to talk to a person?”
go near to the person
and make an eye contact with him or her.
talk as it should be audible to opposite person. T
he talk should be clear and loud enough.
10. How to walk?
Now let us see “how to walk?”
Lift one foot and place at a comfortable distance.
Ensure that, the heal first come to contact with the
surface of floor and toes later.
Again place the next foot at a comfortable distance
and walk similarly without any noise.
11. How to sneeze?
Now, let us see “how to sneeze?” Cleanly and with out
disturbing others.
Turn your face little bit opposite to other person
spread napkin and then fold.
if no napkin is there clean with hands
and then wash hands properly in the wash basin.
If you don’t do like this, it will look awkward to see and also
infections will spread to others also.
12. How to yawn?
Now let us see “how to yawn?”
Take a napkin and cover the mouth, while yawning.
Mouth should not be opened fully and minimum noise
should be there.
13. How to cough?
Now let us see “how to cough?”
Turn your face little opposite others.
Spread napkin and cough.
If nothing is there keep your hands, otherwise infections
will spread to others.
14. Suggestions
Every teacher though is a Montessori or Nursery teacher,
he/she should teach the children the social behaviour as
and when they enter into school.
He/she should be very patient to repeat these presentations
irrespective to the age of the child.
In the house of children the social behaviour should not
change from child to child and it should be a collective
presentation.
15. Conclusion
A teacher should arrange a monthly discussion with parents
and discuss about the code of behaviour in the house of
children
and asking to maintain the same behaviour at home and in
the house of children.
Thus they can feel perfectness and easiness in their
behaviour.
