What is happening to children in a world that has changed profoundly, where economic constraints dominate, families are on the move, and traditional moral, religious and human reference points are often shaken? This is the question posed by Rénilde Montessori in this book, which is based on two foundations: the pedagogical approach pioneered by Maria Montessori over a century ago, to enable the development and fulfillment of the very young, and the Universal Declaration of Children's Rights, which sets out a legal framework for the defense of their person and integrity. At a time when so many children in the world are victims of exploitation, war, hunger or poverty, deprived of the maternal and human means to grow up, this book reiterates the importance of an education founded on responsibility, freedom and confidence in the infinite value and potential of every child.
