Features: The Secret of Childhood is a world-renowned classic in early childhood education, offering highly beneficial explorations and answers about the mysteries of children. It was published in July 1936 during the fifth International Montessori Conference held in Oxford, England, by the modern Italian educator Maria Montessori (1870-1952). Through Montessori's exploration and answers about the mysteries of children, parents and teachers can clearly realize: 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 the children they have yet to recognize and free them from all obstacles. It can be believed that all parents and teachers will find inspiration in the many concrete examples and theoretical explanations in this book. More notably, many of the examples Montessori cites in the book can also be seen in our real lives.
