The belief is widespread that the founder of the pedagogical system of the same name was too busy with the help of other people's children, so she handed over her own child to the shelter. We decided to check if this is really so.
About what famous teacher I gave it your own child To the orphanage to devote themselves to someone else's children write in many critical articles and comments About the Montessori method. Statements vary from neutral ("She gave her children to the shelter house to be freer for serving someone else's children") before condemning ("She gave her child to the orphanage so that he would not shine for her"). Such The fact of about Maria Montessori Also Enters in a selection About people who did not follow his own principles“Dale Carnegie died in complete solitude, Benjamin Spock, his own sons wanted to put his elderly house, M. Montessori gave her son to the foster family, feeling that her destiny on this earth was to devote herself to someone else's children, and the Korean writer, the author of the bestseller“ how to be happy ”, was hanged from her depression” (other facts from her ”(other facts from her Disassembled In this material).
Maria Montessori - Italian doctor and teacher, in honor of which the education system is named, based on the principles of maximum freedom of development of the child. The basic principle of both preschool and school education in this system - "Help me do it myself."
Montessori Born In a small Italian town, Kyavallle in 1870. At the age of 12, she was able to do In a technical school, where only boys were accepted before. In 1890, deciding to become a children's doctor, Maria again managed to overcome the inequality and ensured that she was first enrolled in a free listener, and then a student at the University of Roman Medical School. After graduating from the university, she was appointed assistant to a doctor in a psychiatric clinic of the University of Roman, where she began to work with children with developmental features.
In the late 1890s, Maria Montessori Enters In relations with a colleague-doctor Giuseppe Montesano. At the same time, the couple seeks to keep their novel secret. Exists Two versions of why Maria and Giuseppe did not marry. According to the first, against the union was mother Giuseppe Isabella Skyavone, who was of the ducal title of the Aragon House. According to the second, Maria herself did not want to legalize a relationship, as this could jeopardize her career as a scientist and doctor.
In 1898, Maria, out of marriage, gave birth to her son Mario - despite this, father agreed Give him his last name. Montessori biographers Reportthat a couple I agreed Keep your novel secret and not enter into relations with other people. In 1900, together with Montesano Maria Heads The Orthranic Institute is a medical and pedagogical institution for the training of teachers for teaching children with mental characteristics. Moreover, after only a year she Supports Resignation from the post of co -director. Biographers Bind This is that, under the influence of his mother, Giuseppe violated the celibacy agreement and married.
From birth, Mario had a nurse with whom he spent most of his time. After parting Montesano Montessori was in a severe mental crisis, and Mario lived In the suburbs of Rome in the family of his father's relatives. Mother regularly visited him, but the child Mario did not know that she was his real mother. Only when he became a teenager, did Montessori tell Mario who he had her.
Moreover, this situation did not violate the child-child attachment. How Remembering The daughter of Mario - Marilin, “all his objects of love were incomparable with his love for his mother and her work. The comprehensive love that dominated in his whole life. His devotion to her was a conscious and free choice, and not the result of the affection of mother and son. ” At the same time, kinship with the father of Mario There was no - Despite the name of this child, he did not recognize him with his own. But Maria, at least for some time, represented Mario as a foster son, then as a nephew, in the end Beginning Public called him Il Figlio Mio, that is, "My son." As a result, Mario became The most faithful and devoted supporter of the pedagogy of the mother and ultimately headed the International Association of Montessori Methods.
Thus, the famous teacher really did not raise her child in the first years of his life. However, the reason was by no means that other people's children seemed closer to her. The woman-doctor in Catholic Italy, who gave birth to a child out of marriage, was forced to send him to his relatives to educate, and then call him her nephew or the adoptive son for some time. At the same time, the relationship between the mother and the son, as far as the preserved evidence allowed, was very warm and related all the time.
