Discovery of the child |
$18.99 $14.24 |
 |
| Maria Montessori describes the nature of the child and her method. She believes that once the general principles of her method have been grasped, its material application is very simple.
Gone are teachers who wear out their lungs maintaining discipline. Verbal instruction is replaced by "material for development," which affords children the opportunity of teaching themselves by their own efforts. The teacher thus becomes a director of the child's own spontaneous work.

| Snippet of the book:"The child, like all other human beings, has a personality of his own. He carries within him the beauty and the dignity of the creative spirit, and these can never be erased, so that his soul which is pure and very sensitive requires our most delicate care. We must not only preoccupy ourselves with his body which is so tiny and so fragile. We must not think only of nourishing and washing and dressing him with great care. Man does not live by bread alone even in his infancy.... |

| Snippet's from the book:
"This is always very difficult for me to set forth my argument, because this argument is not a simple conception like a line, but is immense, if you will, like a desert or an ocean.

This desert or ocean is not a creation of my mind, my soul, my knowledge, my evolution, but it is Education - not the education that you know,... |
