Montessori's view on children's psychological development is the basis of all her educational theories. In the past, many people criticized her for being purely genetic determinism on this issue, but it is not entirely true. Looking at all Montessori's theories, she thinks that children's psychological development is neither pure internal maturity nor the direct product of environment and education, but the result of the interaction between organism and environment.
In order to promote the normal development of children's physiology and make them skilled in daily life, Montessori attaches great importance to children's muscle exercise. In addition to letting children sit, get up, walk, dress, undress, take things and take care of animals and plants, she also invented various electrical appliances, such as spiral ladders and rocking chairs, to help children train, and even compiled gymnastics and even breathing, lips and tongue.
