Product Description

Product Description
In response to the crisis in American education, more than five thousand public and private schools across the nation have adopted the timeless Montessori Method of teaching, of which this book is the cornerstone. Written by the women whose name is synonymous worldwide with child development theory, "The Absorbent Mind "takes its title from the phrase that the inspired Italian doctor coined to characterize the child's most crucial developmental stage: the first six years.A new foreword by John Chattin-McNichols, Ph.D., President of the American Montessori Society, places this classic book in a contemporary context, offering an intelligent discussion of current thinking in child education.

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.
