Product Description

Synopsis

Based on lectures given by Dr Montessori at Ahmedabad, this text is an analysis of the physical and psychological aspects of a child's growth during the most significant period of life. During this period the child learns motor co-ordination, language, the making of social adjustments, the setting of work habits, and the beginning of routines that set patterns for life. Dr Montessori illustrates the unique mental powers of young children which enable them to construct and establish the various aspects of human personality.

5.0 out of 5 stars montessori....the absorbent mind, 5 Feb 2009
By Ms. F. Parsons "figzminigz" (my own planet) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
they say you don't get a book with a new baby....uh, you do....this one. even 100 years after her findings, montessori philosophy has never been so relevant as today. i read this when my son was born and now am a qualified montessorian. forget all those modern techniques....this is all you need. it does take a while to read through properly, but it will open your mind...and possibly enable you to create the most wonderful children.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WORK OF GENIUS BY THIS EDUCATION PIONEER, 10 Jul 2001
By A. M. Colgan "Anna Colgan" (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a mind-blowing, life-altering book that should be required reading for all educators and parents. It details the various patterns of child's development and growth, whilst providing effective strategies for understanding and dealing with them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes it's great - but although highly cogent, a very "dense" read, 7 Aug 2009
Yes, it was a bit of a struggle reading through this, frankly. Not for the faint-hearted. It is crammed with ideology and momentum given the time it was written (after the Second World War). It is very much of its time, the developmental theories I agree with, but the ideology takes over. I would not read this first-hand until you had read introductions to Montessori's teaching. But that's just me!
