Useless.

This book is impressive in its failure to provide one ounce of useful, practical advice. It is a self congratulatory heap of obfuscated nonsense cobbled together from Montessori’s better work. Enjoy such insights as “the will of the child leads to a luminous future!” And other flowery descriptions of the wisdom of the child’s mind. This book is much better suited to a philosopher who enjoys listening to others wax poetic about the nature of a child’s existence with little to no evidence sighted than a parent or care giver who hopes to learn anything of use. Also, the robot who reads to book does it no favours. I was unable to complete this book and chose to instead sit in silence as the mechanical cadence and repetitious word vomit was unbearable.
