content: I wish I'd read this before my child was born. Maria Montessori was so far ahead of her time it is astounding. There are no words to describe how timely and important for you to read this book. It has changed the way I see myself, my child and the world. It is in my Top 3 for life changing books. You must get this book and read it. You will not be disappointed and you will come away from this book with a fresh appreciation and perspective of children and why the Montessori method is so timely right now and why it will ALWAYS be :)
