Adolescence

Adolescence: the birth of man

We must be aware that the adolescent is a mysterious and wonderful person at the same time. Because adolescence, you could say, is not only a period of growth, 
but rather  a great transformation - if you will, a creation. ... 
adolescence is really the period of birth of man.
Maria Montessori,The adolescent's physical and psychological development.

Adolescence: a search for vocations

"In order to develop a strong and independent character, the adolescent must be freed from the overwhelming influences of home and school. He needs a special environment, a prepared environment, which offers not only social experiences , but also the atmosphere of calm and peace where the young adult can have the chance to begin to develop his vocation. "
Jenny Hoglund, Director of Montessori Adolescents in Europe training.
