Independence Coordination of movement Orientation and adaptation to the environment Preliminary exercise Like so many Montessori lessons, there is more going on during this one than meets the eye. First and most obvious is ensuring that your child can move a chair without creating a safety hazard to him or herself or anyone else. But they are also developing a sense of independence and confidence by being able to do something for themselves instead of relying on an adult. If you watch our guides through an observation window, you will see that they move chairs in precisely the same way that they teach your child to, even when they are not engaged in the actual lesson. This serves to model the correct behavior at all times.
