Studies have shown that children who are stimulated and encouraged early in their life with age-appropriate educational activities will build a stronger brain with more active cells. The longer they engage in an activity allows the brain synopses to spark and create new cells which in turn gives the child the capacity to absorb more information or to become normalized. This happens from birth to about age six. In Maria Montessoris book The Absorbent Mind she speaks directly to this and she encouraged her teachers to allow enough work time for all their students to truly engage in and absorb the benefits from a given activity. This is why uninterrupted work time is the model in any Montessori classroom and why a child may stay at an activity or work for many weeks until this normalization process occurs and they are ready to move on to different or more advanced work in an area. https://facebook/events/1870014076472628/
