Why do we keep asking “What colour is this?” and other questions to test our child? by Simone Davis

I ran into this article by Simone Davies, Montessori guide and one of my Montessori mentors, and it made me think. Parents (including me) constantly test their kids, but is it good or useful?

I translated the article for my lovely Italian and Spanish readers, and you can read the original one in English here. Thanks, Simone, for being always a source of inspiration.
