She also discusses the array of materials and techniques needed to release his learning potential. Review: Apart from the Absorbent Mind the most important book written by Montessori - I bought this book as part of my Montessori training but I read it before the training even started. I could not put it down. If you want to understand the world from a child's perspective, understand why children do what they do and how you can help them realise their potential, then I suggest you read this. Not only if you are a teacher or work with children. This knowledge and understanding is fundamental for everyone, every parent and every human being. It is time we treated our children correctly and supported them rather than standing in their way! There's a very interesting section on deviations in this book. So if you have a so called difficult or problematic child, I suggest you read this. Montessori describes here why no child is naughty by nature and how often it is actually the adult's fault that children develop these deviations. She also gives practically applicable advice how to correct the situation. If you love your child read this! Review: Would recommend - So glad I bought this. It will make you look at your own ways of raising a child, just don't rush yourself to read on as it's tempting with rather short sections and the book being somewhat pocket-sized. It won't give you a detailed plan of achieving a better way to treat your child and enhance their skills but it will make you rethink your attitudes. It will also speak about things you might have never considered and will change your insight and outlook onto certain behaviours. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 968,905 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 10 in Montessori Methods & Training 980 in Child Discipline (Books) 4,110 in Psychological Counselling (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 606 Reviews | ## Images ![The Secret of Childhood - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jLQpUXf2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apart from the Absorbent Mind the most important book written by Montessori *by M***Y on 21 February 2014* I bought this book as part of my Montessori training but I read it before the training even started.

Only the cover is soft / but I have covered it to not damage further. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Secret of Childhood - The Discovery of the Child - The Absorbent Mind --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49632511-the-secret-of-childhood](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/49632511-the-secret-of-childhood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
