Exploring the theories in The Absorbent Mind:
The Absorbent Mind is an analysis of the physical and psychological aspects of a child’s development during the most significant period of life. During this period, the child learns motor co-ordination, language, the making of social adjustments, the setting of work habits, and the beginning of routines that set patterns for life. Dr Montessori’s theory illustrates the unique mental powers of young children which enable them to construct and establish all the aspects of human personality.
