Quote
Montessori said children enter states of deep concentration. She observed that until children find tasks on which to concentrate, they seem restless and out of sorts. Then they rather mysteriously become attracted to the tasks (as if moved by an inner guide) and work on them with a concentration so deep that it looks like a kind of meditation. The child repeats the task over and over, oblivious to the world around her, and when she finally stops, she emerges rested and happy, as if awakening from a pleasant sleep.
