Nurturing the Whole Child: Montessori Principles Applied to the Catechesis of Children

Gianna Gobbi’s Nurturing the Whole Child explains how Montessori principles support children’s religious formation through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS). Drawing from her work with Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti, Gobbi shows how children connect simply and deeply with God using biblical images and liturgical signs. Originally lectures for catechist training, this book is now a key resource for CGS catechists and parents seeking insight into children’s prayer and spiritual development.
