Sensitive periods provide an internal urge and stronger reinforcement than any rewards or praise could do. \u201cThe essence of independence is to be able to do something for one\u2019s self. Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow, and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be.\u201d \u2013 Maria Montessori.
