MINDFULNESS
正念
What is Mindfulness and what does it have to do with Montessori philosophy or practice？A relatively new concept in the West refers to something that has been explored for centuries in the East. Google mindfulness of advice for learning to be in the moment， something to help make our fast-paced sometimes hectic lives more manageable，more enjoyable. Most of us are interested in mindfulness because we seem to be always focused on the future， never quite caught up. We want a break.
什么是正念？它和蒙台梭利哲学或蒙台梭利实践有什么关系？这个在西方相对较新的概念已经在东方被探索了好几个世纪。谷歌搜索和正念有关的建议，学习处在当下，帮助我们更好管理快节奏、时常繁忙的生活，也使我们更能享受。大多数人对正念感兴趣是因为我们总在聚焦未来，却总是追赶不上。我们需要休息一下。
Most definitions of mindfulness include being deeply involved with，or concentrating on，what we are doing or thinking about in the present moment， without being distracted by what is going on around us or our thoughts about anything but what we are experiencing right now.
很多关于正念的定义都包含了全然投入、专注在我们当下在做的或在思考的事情上，不会被周围事物及某些思想分心，只在我们正经历的事情上。
The practice of mindfulness in the development of children existed even in Dr. Montessori’ s work in the San Lorenzo slums of Rome in the beginning of the 20th century. And in our Montessori classrooms we witness it daily when we see a child concentrating deeply on an activity that is just right for his stage of development. An activity that he has chosen for himself, and for which the steps have been made clear. Respecting this activity of the child, protecting it from interruption, is the most important element of Montessori philosophy, at home and in school, at all ages.
儿童发展过程中的正念练习早在20世纪初，在罗马圣洛伦佐儿童之家的蒙台梭利博士工作中就已经存在了。在我们的蒙台梭利教室里，我们每天都在见证正念练习：当看见孩子深度专注在一个恰好符合他发展阶段的活动上；当孩子自己选择了一个活动，并清楚每个操作步骤。尊重孩子的这种专注活动，保护它免受干扰和打断，这是蒙台梭利哲学中最重要的元素，不论在家、在校，对各个年龄段都是如此。
