ABSORBENT MIND

• The purpose of the Montessori: Education is an aid to the psychic life. Allow everyone to develop their creative potential and be able to express

• The absorbent mind is a mind body dynamics, which transforms its structure by active experiments performed in the environment  

 Fundamental principles: 

1. Observation of the child: an adult who has care of the child must be able to observe. This allows to work differently with each child. Freedom in the activity that has a defined purpose
    
2. Combat the negative influence of adults: adults fail to understand what the child and the child is too many obstacles in his freedom of movement
   
    
3. Absorbency spiritual or absorbent mind: = psychic activity, who chairs the conduct of life. Incarnation in the physical body

Article "Elle" September 28, 2012

The article is interesting, but it's a shame it does not reflect the true nature of the Montessori - This beautiful philosophy of life! The end of the article ends with the careers of Montessori saying they do not like more than traditional students. As always, it is not important the "career" because you can be a craftsman, teacher, salesman, lawyer ... but if you are good with yourself, if you do, you do with love and passion, your life will be filled. This is important!

Welcome

Hello,

I'm Olivia BOVA. I am a psychologist and Montessori Teacher. In this blog I want to share my interest in psychology and Montessori pedagogy. I would like to reflect on the place of the child and its development in our Universe, its autonomy, its concentration ... Why develop human potential? And behold, an interesting and exciting: The place of human beings in the Universe. What is our role? What should we do? Give the child the pleasure of working with joy and desire to learn. Give the child the space it deserves. Give the child his place as a child!

Maria Montessori, through its method reveals how intelligently stimulate the creative imagination of the child to awaken his interest and reach the common goal of working together.
