The Secret of Childhood - A Kannada Translation (Paperback)
Dr. Montessori was convinced, from a lifetime of scientific observation, that in the child there are laws of growth in character and disposition as marked as those in its physical life; that adults generally fail to appreciate these laws and force their own ideas on it. This results in oppression of the child's deepest drives and its mind is thrown into confusion, and revolts through manifestations of naughtiness, hysterical crying and sulking. A childhood so full of repression develops into an adulthood full of complexes. Dr. Montessori's main theme in this book is, in effect, ' Find the secret of childhood, and the whole disposition of the child changes. It truly becomes "Father of Man" and achieves a superior, saner psychological development.'

Dr. Montessori's revolutionary method of education was begun long ago; and to-day institutions with her method exist in all parts of the world. This book reaches out to a yet wider horizon - in fact to all those who care for the young, and for man in the course of self-construction.
