Weekly Update - Litchfield Montessori School | Litchfield Montessori School

“The second period, six to twelve, is a peaceful period of a singular regularity. This age is a time of rest. The child of six is different from the child of twelve. The twelve-year-old has grown during the preceding six years, but there have been no great transformations; it has been a time of peaceful growing. For this reason, the second plane is a period of power and mental strength. It is a time for work and mental application. ”

Maria Montessori
The 1946 London Lectures, p. 43
