Maria, Montessori

Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company

It is not the teacher who teachers the child, but the child who teaches the teacher. That is the conclusion of Dr. Montessori in what is still today, nearly a century later, a radical look at education. Here, Dr. Montessori expounds upon and defends the immense powers of the child. She gives teachers and caregivers a new outlook that changes the task of child rearing and education from one of drudgery to one of joy, from repression to collaboration with nature. Decades ago, Dr. Montessori stated what is now a well-known truth: that the first two years of life are the most important. This book explains how she arrived at this conclusion. A must read for all those interested in child development or Montessori pedagogy. This book is required reading in many Montessori teacher training courses. Paperback; 69 pages

Follow the child is a common phrase we hear in Montessori but how did it come about? Why is it so important for adults to ‘follow attentively all the spiritual expressions of a child'? Why is it so hard for adults to do? In this short book, Dr. Montessori explains the importance of adult respect and support for ‘all reasonable forms of activity in which the child engages' and emphasizes the value of understanding rather than interfering with such activity. Adults should help children to become independent while at the same time fully appreciating how sensitive children are to external influences. This book is required reading in Montessori teacher training courses. Give it to the people you know who need it! Paperback; 75 pages

And through four lectures delivered at the 8th International Congress in San Remo, Italy, 1949, Montessori bring us her own brilliant summary of a life-time of work.
