From Childhood To Adolescence - Kalakshetra

Her account of an adolescent's need for independence in thought and action reads as current, and so does what she says about the state of education.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this book focus on ages 6-12 when the product listing says ages 3-6?
The product category listing appears to be incorrect. 'From Childhood to Adolescence' specifically addresses the second plane of development (ages 6-12), not the first plane (ages 3-6). This book explores the transition from early childhood into the elementary years.
What key topics does Dr. Montessori cover in this book?
Dr. Montessori explores the child's transformation around age 6, including their developing moral sense, need for intellectual challenges, desire for social relationships, and capacity for abstract thinking. She also discusses the importance of cosmic education and how to meet the elementary child's psychological needs.
Is this book suitable for parents or just Montessori teachers?
This book is valuable for both parents and educators. While it provides theoretical foundation for Montessori elementary teachers, parents will gain crucial insights into their child's developmental needs, helping them better understand and support their 6-12 year old's growth.
How does this book complement other Montessori texts?
This book bridges Dr. Montessori's works on early childhood (0-6 years) and adolescence (12-18 years). It's particularly complementary to 'The Absorbent Mind' and 'Education and Peace,' providing a complete picture of child development across all planes.
What makes the Kalakshetra edition special?
Kalakshetra Press is known for publishing authentic, carefully edited versions of Dr. Montessori's works. This edition maintains the integrity of her original lectures and writings while presenting them in an accessible format for modern readers.
