Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.5 stars; 5 reviews)

Maria Montessori saw that children gained a sense of satisfaction through doing work of their own choosing, and that the role of the adult was to allow this natural ability of the child to flourish through careful design of the environment, and the development of freedom within a positive structure. Through examples of her observations Montessori details the reasoning behind her methods. This book is translated from its original in Italian. - Summary by Grace En-Tien Chang (11 hr 47 min)

A hodgepodge if readers but some of them did was. The content of the book was very educational.
