I bought this book for a first child has to happen in one month. This book allows me to immerse myself in the Montessori pedagogy because it is not only to send his child to a Montessori school, but to also apply at home. This book is well structured, synthetic and comprehensive at once. At first glance, the book is not very friendly (some illustrations or when there are, photos a little dated), but once you dive into play, difficult to win. Rich advice and concrete examples, it reminded me what mistakes my own parents were able to do during my education, or the equivalent in other families, and to understand why the child, growing up , became what it is today, or why the child reacted a certain way at that time. I highly recommend it to all parents who want to provide a good education to their children in the spirit of mutual respect.
