The travel allowed me to read a very interesting book on the Montessori approach. I will use the medium of this blog to write summary about this book.
As per Dr. Montessori, a child goes through four planes of development that span through the age 0 to 24. At the conclusion of age 24, the adult is fully formed. If all has gone well, he/she is a mature being, ready to live wisely and responsibly and to fulfill his/her part in serving humanity.
The four different planes of development identified by Dr. Montessori are as:
1. First plane of development: 0 to 6 years old.
2. Second plane of development: 6 to 12 years old.
3. Third plane of development: 12 to 18 years old.
4. Fourth and final plane of development: 18 to 24 years old.
Each plane of development is associated with certain characterstics and associated challenges, I would go into these planes individually in a separate blog entry.
