The book the secret of childhood published by Orient BlackSwan focuses on early childhood development, the Montessori educational method<\/a>, and the relation of the child to society.<\/p>\n

First, Maria Montessori talks about the new-born child who is not only a body ready to function as a body, but also has a spiritual embryo with latent psychic capacities.<\/p>\n

The second part of the book gives an account of the first Casa dei Bambini about the essence of the Montessori method<\/a>. The adult should be determined to learn from the children rather than to force their own ideas on them.<\/p>\n

The essence of the Montessori method lies in: observing, helping, presenting, rather than teaching or forcing. The adult, Montessori claims, must play a low-key role; all is free and open for the child, who chooses his own materials to work with, and learns from them because they interest him.<\/p>\n

Given the method of free choice of work and materials, the concentration is high and the need for punishment and reward is not necessary.<\/p>\n

Relieved from the emotional strain of competition and fear, the child becomes stable, confident and happy.<\/p>\n
