We must "give" this environment to the children. This requires deep trust and commitment on our part. For many of us, the environment remains "ours" and we allow the children to use it. I don't believe this is what Montessori meant. I think that once we have created this environment, sufficient to answer the development needs of all the children, beautiful so that it attracts the children to use it, uncluttered and pristine so that the children are not hampered by unnecessary stimulation, then we must step back. We must remove our egos from our creation and truly give it to the children. We have supposedly created this space for the children but, for so many of us, it is so difficult to really "give it to them".
-- From "The NAMTA Journal Vol. 30, No. 1"

我們必須將環境「交」給孩子。這需要我們對孩子深刻信任並付出。對很多人而言，環境仍然是「我們的」，只是我們容許孩子來使用。我不認為這是蒙特梭利的本意。我們一旦建立好環境，能充足回應所有孩子的發展需求、漂亮而充滿魅力、整潔乾淨，讓孩子不會被非必要的刺激干擾，就要退居幕後。我們必須從所建立的一切環境中抽離自我，真正交給孩子。我們為了孩子建構這個空間，但很多人卻很難真的「放手交給孩子」。
