Features: Editor's Recommendations: "The Secret of Childhood" is a world-renowned classic in early childhood education that offers insightful exploration and answers about the mysteries of children. It was published by the modern Italian educator Maria Montessori in July 1936 during the Fifth International Montessori Conference held in Oxford, UK. Through Montessori's exploration and answers to the mysteries of children, parents and teachers can clearly realize that children are not strangers that can only be observed from the outside. In fact, a person's personality is formed during their childhood. For this reason, parents and teachers must strive to understand those they have yet to recognize.
