The Absorbent Mind, M. Montessori
The Absorbent Mind is Maria Montessori’s last book. It is one of her key works and therefore the basis for understanding her educational approach.
The Secret of Childhood, M. Montessori
A quote from Marie Montessori’s The Secret of Childhood best conveys the message of the book: “One cannot see the method; one sees the child. One sees the child soul, freed from obstacles, acting in accordance with its true nature. The childish qualities of which we catch glimpses are simply a part of life, like the colours of birds or the scent of flowers. They are not at all the results of any ‘method of education’. But it is evident that these natural facts can be influenced by an education seeking to protect them, cultivate them, and assist their development.”
Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents: A Selection of Articles
This booklet includes eleven previously unpublished lectures by Maria Montessori introduced aimed specifically at parents. Montessori was always fully aware of what an important role parents play. She wanted to educate them so they would be able to help their children in their development to the best of their abilities, and so they would understand the essence of her educational approach.
