What is an absorbent mind?
According to the American Montessori Society, the absorbent mind is from birth through approximately age of six, the young child experiences a period of intense mental activity that allows the child to” absorb” learning from his or her environment without conscious effort, naturally and spontaneously.
Child absorbs not only the language, but the traits of his family and his community. He learns how to behave in certain situations, he learns how and what to eat. Though some of it is consciously taught, a great deal of it is simply absorbed through the power of a child’s mind.
The child’s absorbent mind can be compared to a camera snapping images of everything it sees through the lens or to a sponge soaking in everything within the environment. What the child takes in during the absorbent mind period is taken effortlessly and remains as the foundation of his or her personality.
