Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents: A Selection of Articles (Volume 21)

---

Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents: A Selection of Articles is a concise collection of eleven short articles and lectures originally found in the Montessori pedagogical archives, aimed at helping parents better understand their role in their children’s development. Montessori emphasizes respect for the child, observation before intervention, and the importance of creating an environment that supports spontaneous activity and natural learning. In these writings, she addresses common parental concerns and shares her insights on how children grow and learn through movement, concentration, and purposeful engagement with their surroundings. The foreword, written by Paula Polk Lillard, describes her own journey from traditional education to Montessori teaching and parenting, providing context for Montessori’s message. This volume serves as a practical and philosophical guide for parents seeking to apply Montessori principles at home and foster independence, confidence, and intrinsic motivation in their children.
