“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”— Maria MontessoriEducation and Peace
“The hands are the instruments of man's intelligence.”
— Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
De La Infancia A La Adolescencia provides Montessori educators with Maria Montessori's essential framework for understanding the developmental transformation that occurs as children move from the first plane to the second plane of development. This Spanish edition text examines how the absorbent mind of early childhood gives way to the reasoning mind of the elementary years, requiring fundamentally different educational approaches. The book's exploration of the 6-18 age range reveals Montessori's vision for Cosmic Education, where children develop moral consciousness and understand their place in the universe. Through its pages, educators discover why traditional methods fail adolescents and how prepared environments must evolve to meet changing developmental needs. De La Infancia A La Adolescencia addresses the critical need for educators to understand the psychological characteristics of each developmental plane, enabling them to create environments that respond to children's changing intellectual, social, and moral requirements.
