In response to the crisis in American education, more than five hundred thousand public and private schools across the nation have adopted the timeless Montessori Method of teaching, of which this book is the cornerstone.

The book is based on Montessori’s lectures in Italian developed from her course in Ahmedabad, India during her internment as an Italian national in the years of the second World War. As such, The absorbent Mind represents some of Montessori’s later thinking from a period when she could see the success of her methods with children around the world. It is sometimes astonishing to see the way that Montessori’s though outpaced that of her contemporaries in the fields of education and psychology.

The Absorbent Mind is an analysis of the physical and psychological aspects of a child’s growth during the most significant period of life. During this period the child learns motor co-ordination, language, the making of social adjustments, the setting of work habits, and the beginning of routines that set patterns for life. Dr. Montessori illustrates the unique mental powers of young children which enable them to construct and establish all the aspects of human personality. Paperback.
