The discovery of the child – Maria Montessori

In the discovery of the child soft cover book from the Clio Montessori series, published by Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company, Maria Montessori describes the nature of the child and her method. She believes that once the general principles of her method have been grasped, the parts dealing with its material application are extremely simple.

Gone are teachers who wear out their lungs maintaining discipline, the verbal instruction has been replaced by ‘material for development’, which affords children the opportunity of teaching themselves by their own efforts.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 children’s own spontaneous work.
