Babies Build Toddlers: A Montessori Guide to Parenting the First 18 Months
Mariana Bissonnette (Author)
Parent and child, Parent education, Toddlers
See More
Abstract/Notes: Babies Build Toddlers is a unique parenting book with an innovative illustrative approach that makes child development information both accessible and actionable for everyday readers. Author, Mariana Bissonnette tells the powerful story of the child during their most essential stage of development: infancy. The first 18 months lay a critical foundation for a child's future emotional, cognitive, physical, and social well-being. But this early time is often the most difficult for parents! Many find themselves in "survival mode" until toddlerhood, something that overlooks the incredible potential of this early time. Babies Build Toddlers offers readers a window into the intersection of development, education and parenting through clear developmental timelines (including movement, language, eating, sleeping, hygiene, and bonding), practical suggestions for how to support that development, and illustrations from a team of illustrators who celebrate the fullness of each parent's journey.

Maria Montessori. Einführung mit zentralen Texten
Winfried Böhm (Author)
See More
Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori (1870-1952) eine der umstrittensten und wirkmächtigsten pädagogischen Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts.Ihre Bücher wurden in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt, und Montessori-Schulen haben sich auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet. In pädagogischen Examina ist sie ein beliebter Prüfungsstoff.Zu diesem Bekanntheitsgrad steht die Tatsache in einem seltsamen Widerspruch, dass trotz einer Flut von Montessori-Literatur die Kenntnis ihrer grundlegenden pädagogischen Überzeugungen und Intentionen nach wie vor sehr eingeschränkt ist. Gegner und Befürworter befinden sich in einem schon sprichwörtlich gewordenen »Streit um Montessori«. Auch das Bild der Montessori-Schulen ist noch immer verschwommen und lässt reichlich Platz für schulreformerischen Wildwuchs.Der längst überfälligen Aufklärung über die wirklichen Grundlagen, Inhalte und Ziele der Pädagogik Maria Montessoris will dieses Buch des international renommierten Pädagogen Winfried Böhm dienen. Der als Montessori-Experte ausgewiesene Autor legt ein leserfreundliches Lehr- und Lernbuch vor, das zu einem Drittel aus einer kritischen Einführung in das pädagogische Denken Montessoris besteht und zu zwei Dritteln aus Texten Maria Montessoris, die zum großen Teil neu übersetzt wurden. Auf diese Weise wird es dem Leser ermög-licht, die in der Einführung vorgetragenen Thesen und Deutungen anhand von Originaltexten selbst zu überprüfen und so die Wahrheit über Montessori zu erfahren. [Maria Montessori (1870-1952) one of the most controversial and influential educational figures of the 20th century. Her books have been translated into numerous languages, and Montessori schools have spread throughout the world. It is a popular test subject in educational exams. This level of popularity is strangely contradicted by the fact that, despite a flood of Montessori literature, knowledge of its basic educational beliefs and intentions is still very limited. Opponents and supporters find themselves in a “dispute over Montessori” that has already become proverbial. The image of Montessori schools is still blurry and leaves plenty of room for school reform proliferation. This book by the internationally renowned educator Winfried Böhm aims to provide long-overdue information about the real foundations, content and goals of Maria Montessori's pedagogy. The author, who is recognized as a Montessori expert, presents a reader-friendly teaching and learning book, which consists of one third of a critical introduction to Montessori's pedagogical thinking and two thirds of texts by Maria Montessori, most of which have been newly translated. In this way, the reader is able to check the theses and interpretations presented in the introduction based on original texts and thus find out the truth about Montessori.]

Nurturing the Whole Child: Montessori Principles Applied to the Catechesis of Children
Gianna Gobbi (Author)
See More
Abstract/Notes: In Nurturing the Whole Child: Montessori Principles Applied to the Catechesis of Children, Gianna Gobbi draws on a lifetime of experience with children, having apprenticed with educator Dr. Maria Montessori, and collaborated with biblical scholar Sofia Cavalletti to develop the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). With a deep understanding of the way children hear God speak to them personally and with profound simplicity, Gobbi explains how Montessori principles are practically applied with children in the context of religious formation. This work is the fruit of entering gently and respectfully into the child's joyful encounter with the mystery of God's silent self-revelation made tangible through ancient biblical images, liturgical signs, and celebrations. Originally presented in Italian as a series of lectures for the formation of catechists in CGS, “la dispenza di Gianna” has been translated in English and edited for publication. This book is an important addition to the CGS library and a valuable reference in the formation of catechists in CGS. Parents of young children attending the CGS atrium will also find this book an informative resource on the nature of children and their prayer life.

Abstract/Notes: Wie unter einem Brennglas beleuchtet dieses Buch den langen Schatten der weltweit berühmten Maria Montessori. Es rückt ihr Denken in einen bislang weitestgehend verdrängten aber gegenwärtig (erneut) höchst aktuellen Zusammenhang von Eugenik, Rassentheorie und Optimierungsstreben. Als Maria Montessori (1870-1952) im Jahre 1915 den Besuchern der "Panama-Pacific International Exposition" in San Francisco die stillen und diszipliniert arbeitenden "Montessori-Kinder" in einem gläsernen show-room präsentierte, war die italienische Ärztin und Biologin auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere angelangt. Zusammen mit den Eugenikern und Rasseideologen ihrer Zeit demonstrierte sie der fortschrittsgläubigen Welt die Möglichkeiten einer erziehungs- und biotechnologischen Erschaffung des "neuen Messias". Gut 100 Jahre später holen die Fortschritte auf den Feldern der Gen- und Reproduktionstechnologie Maria Montessoris biopolitische Visionen eines "Ministry of the Race" (1951) und ihren lebenslangen Traum vom perfekten Kind ein. Wie unter einem Brennglas beleuchtet dieses Buch den langen Schatten der weltweit berühmten Maria Montessori und rückt ihr Denken in einen bislang weitestgehend verdrängten aber gegenwärtig (erneut) höchst aktuellen Zusammenhang von Eugenik, Rassentheorie und Optimierungsstreben. [As if under a magnifying glass, this book illuminates the long shadow of the world-famous Maria Montessori. It places their thinking in a hitherto largely repressed but currently (again) highly topical context of eugenics, racial theory and the pursuit of optimization. When Maria Montessori (1870-1952) presented the quiet and disciplined working "Montessori children" to visitors to the "Panama-Pacific International Exposition" in San Francisco in 1915 in a glass showroom, the Italian doctor and biologist was there reached the peak of her career. Together with the eugenicists and racial ideologists of her time, she demonstrated to the progressive world the possibilities of creating the "new messiah" through education and biotechnology. A good 100 years later, advances in the fields of genetic and reproductive technology are catching up with Maria Montessori's biopolitical visions of a "Ministry of the Race" (1951) and her lifelong dream of the perfect child. As if under a magnifying glass, this book illuminates the long shadow of the world-famous Maria Montessori and places her thinking in a hitherto largely suppressed but currently (again) highly relevant context of eugenics, racial theory and the pursuit of optimization.]
