Diane Kruger, Maman Montessori: “My daughter is more fulfilled than in France “
The famous actress Diane Kruger puts on the Montessori method to raise her daughter Nova Tennessee, 6 years old and born of her love with actor Norman Reedus! It is an educational approach based on autonomy, learning through experience and respect for the natural rhythm of the child. For the Franco-German actress, this pedagogy corresponds perfectly to the personality of her daughter: “My daughter is more fulfilled than when she was in France. The American Montessori School is more attentive to the singularity of each individual. For example, we offer ballet lessons, as in Paris, but we put less pressure to the students. “
Diane Kruger does not hide her preference for this more flexible and individualized educational approach, breaking with what she herself experienced in Europe. “”For me, school must help a child find what he likes in life. The very French – and German – notion of life, conceived as a set of hard tests, is no longer at all part of my conception. Everything is more easily accomplished in joy“She explained. A philosophy that favors personal development rather than performance at all costs.
Diane Kruger, honest on her daughter’s education: “Europeans are more …“”
If she has chosen to raise her daughter in the United States, Diane Kruger remains deeply attached to her European roots. She wishes to transmit to Nova a certain way of being in the world, inherited from her education: “Quiet strength. The sense of nuance and a more temperate side in the way of reasoning. Openness too: Europeans are more curious about the rest of the world.“Qualities that she considers essential to the balance and inner richness of a child.
Very lucid on the limits of the country where she lives, Diane Kruger does not hesitate to point the finger at the lack of critical perspective in the United States, especially in the media: “In the United States, information chains, like Fox or CNN, are only focused on what is happening in the country … I would like my daughter to grow by developing her critical mind. ”
