As parents, we all want our children to thrive, mentally, physically, and emotionally. But it isn’t easy to know exactly what he or she needs, and when. But when parents understand the child’s natural stages of development and corresponding needs, everything is suddenly much easier.

10 Tips Your Child Really Needs to Shine. The Montessori Method, our children’s developmental needs, or “human tendencies” can be grouped into the following 10 categories:
1. Orientation - Children have an innate need to know where they are in their surroundings.
2. Order - Children have an innate need to know where they are in their surroundings.
3. Exploration - Children are constantly exploring their environment with their senses–soaking in all the sounds, sights, tastes, smells, and textures around them.
4. Communication - Communication is what makes it possible for humans to pass information from one individual to the next. Children are born with an essential need to communicate.
5. Movement - As the child learns movement, he develops not only muscular control (or motor control) but also experiences neuromuscular expansion.
6. Manipulation of objects - Children simply need to handle objects to understand them. We humans are born with an inner need to touch, hold, and shape objects in their environment.
7. Repetition - Your child has a burning need to repeat certain tasks over and over again. She is trying to master that task and she is compelled by her inner teacher to do so. Maria Montessori
8. Precision - Your child has an innate tendency to seek “perfection” in his work. He will build on his other abilities, such as manipulation of objects, order, and repetition, to satisfy his sense of exactness.
9. Imagination - Montessorians define imagination as the ability to visualize something you can’t actually see.
10. Control of error leading to perfection - She notices her own errors and continues to work in pursuit of “perfection.” (By the way, the idea of perfection is your child’s idea, not yours as the parent or adult.) Your child then experiences a deep sense of satisfaction, joy, and accomplishment when she has achieved her own idea of perfection.
