About This Book

The author recounts her observations of Montessori schools and of the method's founder, translating technical descriptions into practical guidance for parents; she explains classroom techniques and materials, addresses common questions and skepticism about child freedom and early learning, and offers concrete suggestions for applying lessons at home; she also reflects on larger philosophical and ethical implications of trusting children's natural tendencies and of educational aims; chapters separate practical technic from meditative essays so readers can consult what they need, and the author invites adaptation and feedback for different domestic circumstances.
