I think 'The secret of childhood' actually gives us better method or ways by which we can direct our child 's life and make him self disciple. Because Maria montessori tells about the absorbent mind , sensitive periods of child and Human tendencies which means the child 's mind like sponze that absorbs (assimilate) everything .In unconscious period (0-3 years )he incarnates all the impressions in the world about him that he sees and his ears hear and in concious period he is being able to tackle his environment deliberately and conciously .Maria Montessori tells about montessori schools , montessori classrooms where the children learn by doing and in natural way . She observed that young children learn best through the use of their senses .They need to touch , feel , move , see , hear , smell & taste . This discovery opened the new era of sensory learning in the field of pre- primary school education .
This book deals with the montessori philosophy and a best explanation of montessori mathod .Really In present time these Montessori schools practically developed child in the best manner .
