Child's Play
Author: Maja Pitamic
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780731813704
Category : Creative activities and seat work
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
As adults, we often underestimate the value that play has in developing children both physically and mentally. In the first few years of a child¿s life, the brain is growing at a rapid rate and play cannot be overvalued at this time as it allows a child to engage and make sense of the world. Child¿s Play is an activity book filled with play ideas for parents to enjoy with their toddlers, from 12 months through to three years of age. Each game offers parents the chance to relish, encourage and assist in their child¿s key developmental stage, and all activities are based on sound techniques of early-childhood education. They are presented with guidelines and suggestions that progress in terms of difficulty, and no specialised knowledge or equipment is necessary. From encouraging your infant to explore the sense of touch and increase their coordination to performing action songs and discovering the garden or local park, Child¿s Play offers children and parents the chance to learn and play together.

The Child Is the Teacher
Author: Cristina De Stefano
Publisher: Other Press, LLC
ISBN: 1635420857
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
A fresh, comprehensive biography of the pioneering educator and activist who changed the way we look at children’s minds, from the author of Oriana Fallaci. Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy, Maria Montessori would grow up to embody almost every trait men of her era detested in the fairer sex. She was self-confident, strong-willed, and had a fiery temper at a time when women were supposed to be soft and pliable. She studied until she became a doctor at a time when female graduates in Italy provoked outright scandal. She never wanted to marry or have children—the accepted destiny for all women of her milieu in late nineteenth-century bourgeois Rome—and when she became pregnant by a colleague of hers, she gave up her son to continue pursuing her career. At around age thirty, Montessori was struck by the condition of children in the slums of Rome’s San Lorenzo neighborhood, and realized what she wanted to do with her life: change the school, and therefore the world, through a new approach to the child’s mind. In spite of the resistance she faced from all sides—scientists accused her of being too mystical, and the clergy of being too scientific, traditionalists of giving children too much freedom, and anarchists of giving them too much structure—she would garner acclaim and establish the influential Montessori method, which is now practiced throughout the world. A thorough, nuanced portrait of this often controversial woman, The Child Is the Teacher is the first biographical work on Maria Montessori written by an author who is not a member of the Montessori movement, but who has been granted access to original letters, diaries, notes, and texts written by Montessori herself, including an array of previously unpublished material.
