Sensitive Period
1. What are the six sensitive periods? Write seven or eight lines on each of them.
The Six sensitive periods are: * The period for Sensitivity to order. * The period for Refinement of order. * The period of Sensitivity to language. * The period of Sensitivity for walking. * The period of Sensitivity of small object. * The period of social Aspects of life.
Montessori believed in a necessary relationship between children and their environment. Children must find a properly prepared environment if they are to fully develop their unique human potentials. Each sensitive period is a specific kind of compulsion, motivating young children to seek objects and relationships in their environment with which to fulfill their special and unique inner potentials.
Sensitive Period for Order (age 18 months to 2 years)
This is characterized by a desire for consistency and repetition. The sensitive period for order operates most actively between roughly the ages of one and three years. In this period, the child is organizing a mental schema for the world. In order for firm conclusions to be drawn about the world, the child must be able to impose an order on it in a way that makes sense to the child and is consistent with the observed world of the child. If this need is not met, the child's ability to reason and learn will be precarious, since she may not be able to consider her conclusions reliable.
Sensitive Period for Refinement of order (birth to 8 years)
As the brain develops, it becomes able to discriminate between relevant and irrelevant sensory stimuli. The most efficient way to accomplish this is for the brain to pay attention to all sensory stimuli.
Sensitive period for refinement of the senses is characterized with the child’s fascination with sensorial experiences (taste, smell, sounds, weight and touch) results in the child learning to observe and make increasingly refined sensorial discrimination. Nothing is in the mind that was not first
