Pedagogy is an art, so we need to play, play the role of compliance, understanding, the role of benevolence, friendship, brotherhood, equality.

10 striking statements of Shalva Amonashvili from the interview with "Connecting Women"
The Dnieper flows and carries these chips, but the chips are good, they look at the sky: you don't need to worry about anything, you don't need to spend any energy. But then they will be lost in the Caspian Sea, no one will know about them there. But a real sliver, a clever sliver, will go against the course of the Dnieper. And here, where the Dnieper is born, there is purity, there is a future. This volitional effort is the truth of life. Everything that you see here was built by the will, everything is kept in freedom. Therefore, true freedom is the manifestation of a person's will when choosing a necessity.
In upbringing, freedom is limited to the art of choosing, and in life, freedom is limited to the ability to see the need.
True freedom is the choice of one's lack of freedom. Children should not be given freedom, but given to choose. Well, are we going to the cinema or theater today, or are we going for a walk? Shall we buy this thing or this one?
Freedom is one of the most important elements of the psychology of consent. In philosophical categories, there is no freedom at all, we are always dependent on a thousand visible and invisible circumstances. Freedom manifests itself only instantly when we choose something. We choose to go there, or here. In the moment of choice, we were free, but as soon as we chose, we already submit to the will.
Children want to be free, give this freedom, but smart, wise freedom. Children want to grow up, give the feeling of growing up. Pedagogy is an art, so we need to play, play the role of compliance, understanding, the role of benevolence, friendship, brotherhood, equality. We need to play this skillfully to the point that the child will not even understand.
Love grows stronger in compliance, understanding, benevolence. In conflicts, love smolders and the longer it develops, the worse.
It is impossible to absorb all the classical values, but some of them can and must be realized right now. Otherwise it will be a shame. We have strength, intelligence, as if we love children, we love life. If all this is true, then we simply have no choice not to implement some of the postulates of the classics.
The classics of the past, but generally live in the future. Their ideas are over the horizon, as if you swim up to him, and he keeps moving away - this is a property of the classics, in the cinema, in the theater. The creators of the classics, they are leaving, we still have to understand them for a long time.
The classics are the horizons of consciousness. Skovoroda, Ushinsky, Sukhomlinsky - these are the heights of consciousness.
The truth of humane education is the upbringing of the human spirit
