The Child In The Family - Mppc
A short book aimed squarely at parents: the tensions built into living with a child, and Dr Montessori's argument that the adult has to find and correct their own faults before they are of much use. This is the MPPC edition, 75 pages, soft cover, 2007. The Kalakshetra printing runs to 126 pages, and a Spanish edition is in the catalogue as well. Her closing thread is the home itself, which she treats as part of what builds a character rather than a backdrop to it. Paper and cardstock.
