Mother of three grown children, I have been an educator for 50+ years and have specialized in Montessori for Infants and Toddlers, Early Childhood and the Elementary Years. I'm the Founder and Program Director of Age of Montessori, a teacher and parent education company offering certification courses, parent courses, professional development and educational materials. I have traveled and taught on five continents, and am working on my third book, soon to be published. My first book, Learning To Read Is Child's Play is currently out of print, while Nurturing Your Child's Inner Life has been published in five languages.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012This is a wonderful book, with plenty of real-life stories and practical ideas about how parents (teachers, grandparents, baby-sitters, etc.) can nurture a child's spiritual nature and help her/him become the best they can be. Ms. Maunz gives great insight into the spiritual development of a child, from before birth through the age of 12. She introduces step-by-step lessons and a "clock of virtues," which includes a list of virtues and a good number of recommended books to go with them (always appreciated!).
For anyone interested in learning more about the "clock of virtues" and how it can be a helpful tool throughout one's life (even past the age of 12), I recommend reading Predict Your Future: Understand the Cycles of the Cosmic Clock (Climb the Highest Mountain), by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, and A Spiritual Approach to Parenting: Secrets of Raising the 21st Century Child (Sacred Psychology)" by Marilyn C. Barrick, Ph.D.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2012Though without children myself, I started reading this book because I have several friends who are young parents with toddlers, infants, and infants on the way. All are from a variety of churches, but I know that each one is interested in raising their children in a spiritual life. So I thought this would make a great baby gift (but I wanted to read it first to make sure.)
I could not put the book down. I found that the concepts are not only essential for parents, but also gave me a world view that was most helpful for myself. And, my inner child was delighted and comforted by the activities and lessons that are described.
First, this book makes the Montessori approach to education understandable for anyone. Most people have heard of the Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Maria Montessori, or seen Montessori schools around. Some of my friends have children in these schools so I know something of the views of this great educator. But, with my busy schedule, I have not always found the time for lengthy texts on the subject. Mary Ellen Maunz' summary in this book is inspiring, to-the-point, and easy.
I also loved the descriptions of the stages of development of the inner life of the child at each age. Maunz gives us actual experiences and things to watch for in children. She coachs us on how to let the child explore safely and with encouragement. But, I took from this techniques for adults as well. Montessori described children as unfolding the divine genius within. We just need to prepare the environment and allow the process to happen with sensitive guidance. I realized that I can apply this to my interactions with my spiritually-minded grown-up friends who ask for direction. Awesome.
Maunz also gives us practical activities and ways to present information to children of all ages. There are even resources listed for materials and children's books. I thought I would offer to help some of my friends with these ideas or use them in Sunday School when it's my turn to teach. It will be a privilege to develop relationships with children through the bond of spirituality.
Finally, I was comforted to see that someone from any religion could read this book. Though oriented toward Christianity with a number of examples from Bible stories, Maunz shares how the system can be applied to any faith or spiritual path. She even includes a great compendium of versions of the golden rule in the world religions.
All that was crompressed into a book that is quick and easy to read, full of warmth, great quotes, real experiences, and profound thoughts. Our children can change the world if we help them maintain the relationship to God that comes within.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2012This is a must read for any adult working with children. The book simply, yet profoundly explains how we can help develop who our children are meant to be.
