Case study: Mary

Mary started nursery when she was two years and one month old. Her mother had recently had twins, so both she and the father were busy with the care of these new family members. At first, Mary was a bit shy of the children in the nursery, but settled quite quickly and began to play alongside other children. However, it was not long before Mary showed signs of being very possessive, and whenever another child had a toy she would try to pull it away, often biting the child to instant effect. Mary's mother told the nursery staff that this was not new; in fact, Mary had been biting since early on in her pregnancy with the twins. She had tried all sorts of things to stop it, but to no avail. She was very worried that Mary was becoming attention-seeking and so had tried to ignore it, but ignoring it only seemed to make it worse.

I applaud and encourage any early years setting which fosters individual children's independence and autonomy ('All by myself', 17 June). Maria Montessori first saw the need to observe children and build on their interests and skills in 1907 when she opened the first Children's House in Rome. Since then, children in Montessori schools all over the world have been following her essential principle of 'help me to do it myself'.
