Features: As Montessori said, "Only in an environment adapted to the age of the child can his psychological life develop naturally and reveal the secrets of his inner self." She believed that some children fail to develop normally mainly because they are suppressed by adults, and society has given adults a completely opposite mission—to have the right to decide the education and development of children. In this book, Dr. Montessori vividly describes the physiological and psychological characteristics of children, reveals the neglect and suppression of adult attitudes towards children's psychological development, and proposes the concept of a "sensitive period" in child development, portraying the developmental features of children in areas such as intellect, sense of order, walking, rhythm, and observation. It is a vivid work that helps understand the secrets of child development and growth.
