"If we are to educate the child in a different way, to save him from the conflicts that endanger his psychic life, we must transform the adult." - Maria Montessori
The secret that children hold about the human soul. First English edition of the second volume in the Roxana Muñoz Montessori Library, published by the Montessori Association of Mexico, A.C. (AMMAC): an introduction to Maria Montessori's thought on the development of the child and the pedagogical principles that sustain the method.
The book travels through four great territories:
Roxana Muñoz Guevara - President of AMMAC since 1997, Director General of the Centro Educativo Montessori Kalpilli, and a trainer of Montessori Guides in Mexico and abroad - brings together in these pages her own formation under Dr. Cato Hanrath (who studied directly with Maria Montessori) and nearly three decades of classroom practice to offer an essential study tool for Guides in formation, parents, and educators who wish to approach the Montessori method with pedagogical seriousness.
This edition follows the established English-language Montessori literature (AMI, Clio Press, Montessori-Pierson Publishing). Italian and English terms (Casa dei Bambini / Children's House) are used with care for both the AMI-trained reader and the general English-speaking audience.
Published simultaneously in Kindle eBook, paperback, and hardcover.
