Maria Montessori speaks to parents: A selection of articles by Maria Montessori
A great introduction to Dr. Maria Montessori's revolutionary ideas concerning the child. This book is particularly aimed towards the parent audience.
Maria Montessori was very much aware of the role of the parent, and their need for a clearer understanding of her ideas. She responded to this need by giving special lectures for parents during her training courses and congresses. Regrettably, she never found the time to write a book especially for parents. The Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company has now collected 11 lectures in which Maria Montessori addresses parents, explaining how they might better understand their own role in the development of their child. Paula Polk Lillard, an internationally respected Montessori author, wrote the Foreword, in which she also describes her transition from a traditional public school teacher to a Montessori mother, teacher and trainer.
- The book includes a short biography of Maria Montessori.
