Translations of The Joyful Child: Montessori for Birth to Three

THE JOYFUL CHILD Montessori, Global Wisdom for Birth to Three The author, Susan Mayclin Stephenson, worked for a year with Silvana Montanaro, MD, her friend and AMI 0-3 trainer, in the creation of this book. Dr. Montanaro wrote the introduction to the book. She insisted on two things. (1) There must be many pictures in the book because, in her words, "We are now a visual society, getting our information from pictures." also, she said that busy parents might gain from the pictures when they do not have time to read all of the text. (2) Sharing of this information with adolescents (as is done in Montessori 12-18 human development classes) and with expectant or new parents, is the very best way to help improve the understanding of the human being and Montessori from the beginning. Parents who have read this book will understand, and they will want the best in Montessori for their children as they grow.
