| Summary | "Dr. Montessori's Own Handbook" by Maria Montessori is an instructional guide on child education written in the early 20th century. The book outlines Montessori's educational philosophy and methods, emphasizing the importance of sensory experiences and the holistic development of children, particularly from ages three to seven. Montessori aims to provide parents and educators with practical insights and techniques that facilitate a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for young children. The opening of the handbook establishes the context for Montessori's educational approach, highlighting the significant advancements in child care and hygiene in recent years, which have contributed to improved physical health among children. Montessori points out that while physical development is crucial, emotional and intellectual growth must also be prioritized. She introduces the concept of the "Children's House," a specially designed environment where children can engage in self-directed, hands-on activities that cater to their natural instincts and developmental needs. Through the integration of sensory education, motor skills, and the fostering of independence, Montessori lays the groundwork for a comprehensive method that cultivates the inner potential of each child.
