Book Reviews of Secret of Childhood
Book Review: A great peek at what Montessori's teachings are all about
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been curious about Montessori for some time and this book was wonderful at introducing her teachings. She explains how many teaching methods are not only ineffective but harmful because they oppress a child's natural desire to learn and create. While, I think what she was saying was idealistic at times, I think all parents and schools would benefit by reading this book and incorporating these principles in how they teach children
