"The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can lead to a bright future." In the first years of life, our mind is able to absorb, create, learn in a profound and completely different way than we will do in adulthood. It is on the basis of this pivotal principle of her method that Maria Montessori delves into the mystery of a crucial period in the formation of our identity, at the stage that defines the characters and unsuspected possibilities of future life. With this work, published for the first time in India, where the method met with immediate success - "We are members of the same family", Mahatma Gandhi said of Maria Montessori -, the foundations are laid for an education that must never be constriction and oppression but an aid to life and the development of all the immense potential with which the child is endowed.
