Nurturing the Whole Child

Gianna Gobbi draws on a lifetime of experience with children, having worked at the side of Maria Montessori and in collaboration with Sofia Cavalletti in developing the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Here Gobbi presents a rare balance of the theory and application of Montessori principles. “The result,” writes Sofia Cavalletti in her introduction, “is a rich, living work.” Nurturing the Whole Child (formerly titled Listening to God With Children) is a basic reference book for parents and adults who work with young children, particularly those involved in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.
