Download or read book The Child Is the Teacher written by Cristina De Stefano and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children’s minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci. Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome’s San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child’s mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.

I don't always have it, but I know it is there." -- 24 year-old intervieweeChildren are born with an innate knowing of the spirit within. The intent of this book is to help us understand this powerful force and nurture it. No matter what our beliefs, moms and dads everywhere desire to give their children opportunities to forge their own connections with the spirit. And despite any negative influences in our own upbringing, we are determined to give our children the best. In Nurturing Your Child's Inner Life, veteran educator and mother of three, Mary Ellen Maunz brings to life the concepts of Dr. Maria Montessori. Italy's first woman physician and founder of the Montessori Method of education, she was thrice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, based on her profound understanding that the child is our great hope for a peaceful world. Maunz explores how to help children become more peaceful as they encounter the spirit within. Learn how your child can:* Flourish through each stage of development, even before birth* Navigate through the challenges of the teen years * Feel at home in the universe * Express harmony, good will and virtue* Understand the Golden Rule as taught in 14 spiritual traditionsA brilliant, heart-warming and inspiring book.
