THE SECOND MONTESSORI PLANE OF DEVELOPMENT (6-12 YEARS): THE REASONING MIND

AT THIS AGE, MANY THINGS START TO CHANGE IN A CHILD'S BRAIN.

The child develops the ability to distinguish fact from fiction and real-life from fantasy.

The child takes what he has learned in the first plane and uses it more abstractly, and he is fascinated with the reasons behind the facts. He has an innate drive to understand and rationalise.

This is the moment where children begin to ask the why behind everything!

Children in this plane are very interested in morality, social justice, and right from wrong.

The social aspect takes a different meaning, and children are ready to work together and collaborate with their friends rather than work alone in complete concentration.
