Thought in this stage the mental types are type is still the same
yet the child becomes susceptible to adults’ influence. The
absorbent mind is still working without fatigue and effort but at a
slower pace. Now the child absorbs things with a conscious will.
He is mostly guided by his ego. In this period he builds his
personality upon the impressions stored in his mind during 0-3
years. What is unfinished in 0-3 years is now completed corrected
and perfected. The journey from unconscious to conscious
absorbent min takes places through his movements, especially
through hands which now become the tool of intelligence.
Physically he is till chubby and plumpish. He becomes quite
independent and can leave his mother for short time. He is now
ready for new experience. It is period for social development
due to which he wants to have company of other4 children. It is
a period of motor sensorial age.
The phrase ‘Sensitive Period in development’ was first used by a
famous Dutch Biologist Hugo De Varies connection with the
development of certain animals. Later it was applied by Dr.
Montessori’s’ system, both in theory and practice has a
biological foundation. Working on these lines she discovered
that child has a great capacity to develop himself.

In March 2002, the Federal MoE, Curriculum Wing, published the
National ECE Curriculum to meet the challenge of an providing an
appropriate learning environment for young learners. The main
objectives of this curriculum are:
Intrinsic motivation:
Children want to learn; they do not have to be motivated by
external forces. Punishments and rewards are not used.
Through the prepared environment the child is free to select
his/her chosen activity; therefore he learns what he/she wants to
learn, at his/her own pace. This spontaneous activity
encourages self-direction and self-reliance.
Concentration develops if a child is self-motivated.
Self-discipline is encouraged:
Self-discipline comes from allowing intrinsic motivation.
The child is protected from adult and other children's intervention.
The apparatus also encourages self-discipline - by completing an
activity satisfactorily, the child feels rewarded and is encouraged to
take on longer and more complex tasks, thus disciplining him/herself.
Social Interaction:
The adults and the children with whom the child interacts are
seen as crucial to the child's whole development.
Children respect one another's efforts and help only when it is
necessary, they are free from envy and anything well done in
the class arouses their enthusiastic praise.
Children are vertically grouped and as they are of different
ages they help one another; the younger ones see what the
older ones are doing and ask for help. The result is harmony
and communication between the ages.
