Listen "Montessori's Four Stages of Development: Nurturing Independent Character Through Respectful Education"
Episode Synopsis
Explore Maria Montessori's profound understanding of child development through her four transformative stages from birth to 24 years. Discover how each stage requires different educational approaches: Stage 1 (0-6) emphasizes hands-on learning and sensory absorption; Stage 2 (6-12) develops social awareness and moral reasoning; Stage 3 (12-18) honors adolescent intensity while building self-worth; and Stage 4 (18-24) supports transition to independent adulthood. Learn Montessori's core belief that children need active participation, not passive listening, and that "the most successful teacher helps children no longer need teachers." This gentle educational philosophy shows how lowering adult expectations and respecting each child's unique personality creates truly independent, responsible individuals who take ownership of their actions.
