Based on lectures given by Dr. Montessori at Ahmedabad, The Absorbent Mind is an analysis of the physical and psychological aspects of a child’s growth during the most significant period of life. During this period the child learns motor co-ordination, language, the making of social adjustments, the setting of work habits, and the beginning of routines that set patterns for life. Dr. Montessori illustrates the unique mental powers of young children which enable them to construct and establish all the aspects of human personality.

"The Absorbent Mind" by Maria Montessori is a key text for anyone interested in her educational philosophy. This book offers profound insights into the way children learn and develop, making it a must-read for educators and parents alike. It brilliantly articulates Montessori's belief in the innate potential and curiosity of the child, which drives their natural learning process.
