Features: Maria Montessori (1870-1952), a renowned Italian educator and reformer, founded an educational teaching method centered on children, which has been widely spread worldwide. Montessori regarded children as the original "human beings," exploring their development from birth to adulthood in accordance with their natural tendencies. Her educational methods and the design of every activity material are ingenious, providing detailed explanations on the composition of the materials, appropriate age, operational steps, points of interest, error control, extension, and precautions for using the materials. It can be said that Montessori combines both theory and practice, operating at the level where ideas and actions are integrated. Montessori education, with its multifaceted advantages, has attracted the children of many middle-class families.
This book, based on Spencer's educational theory, comprehensively elaborates on Spencer's joyful education from eight aspects: taking joy in education to its fullest, opening the door to children's wisdom, respecting children's rights, cultivating lifelong beneficial habits for children, unlocking children's hearts, letting children learn happily, being outstanding parents, and joyful moral education.
