María Montessori, 1994, 176p

“We have, no doubt, been unconscious oppressors of the new human seed which is purely and vigorously developing: we have placed ourselves above it, not wishing to acknowledge the existence of its own need for spiritual growth. “The spirit of the child” has remained hidden and much shadowed by the unconscious selfishness of the adult.”

Showing great sensitivity towards children, and a fascinating capacity to understand their needs towards an adequate emotional and intellectual development, Maria Montessori guides us through her pedagogical method, in which trusting children and allowing them freedom of action is a question of coherence for educators.
