"The child is passing through a sensitive period: a divine command is breathing upon this helpless being and animating it with its spirit. This inner drama of the child is a drama of love. It is a great reality unfolding within the secret areas of his soul and at times completely absorbing it. These marvellous activities wrought in humble silence cannot take place without leaving behind ennobling qualities that will accompany the child through life."
Maria Montessori, The Secret of Childhood p43
