  Based on lectures given by Dr Montessori at Ahmedabad, this text is an analysis of the physical and psychological aspects of a child's growth 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 illustrates the unique mental powers of young children which enable them to construct and establish the various aspects of human personality.
