your roadmap brings you to your child’s
adolescent years of 12 to 18 years old.
This is a
|
most challenging period
of transition for him, and also for you, his
parents. He will traverse this road from being
a child he is not anymore to becoming an adult
he is yet to be. |

“At
puberty, he comes to the end of this period. Nature
marks the end. It is an extraordinary change, a
point of life which might be called a rebirth.”

Dr
Montessori calls your child a social newborn |
As parents, you must understand
that the sentiments of your child are now changing.
In Montessori’s words, your child “is
no longer satisfied to be the pet of the household.
He has
now a sense of dignity. He feels he
is observed. He does not wish to be held at less worth
than others. He
wants to take the first steps in social life and he
is anxious as to the figure he will cut.”
Montessori
asks what is now the best environment for this
age? |
