Applying the Montessori method<\/strong> in elderly contexts means going beyond the idea that Montessori<\/em> is only about the materials and how a space is set up, or a well-arranged box or the manipulation of wooden objects. Above all, it means<\/strong> entering and knowing how to relate, in the ways that the stories tell<\/strong>. The volume Montessori stories for frail elderly people<\/em> promotes and enhances the experiences of elderly people<\/strong> with great welcome and respect.<\/p>\n

\u201cObservation is the transversal element of each story and becomes the gaze of those who wait, of those who understand, nourish, prepare, facilitate, correct, question, share and, at the same time, live, try their hand, express, reinvent and commit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Montessori stories for frail elderly people<\/em> presents 16 illustrated stories<\/strong> resulting from narrations that the author has had the opportunity to listen to during her working years with old people.<\/p>\n

The stories are intended as a guide which, in addition to bringing to light what the frail elderly person experiences, help better understand the manifestations and behaviours associated with dementia and loneliness<\/strong>. The stories can be read independently by the elderly person, or together with an operator or a family member with the aim of learning to manage the dynamics that occur with greater awareness.<\/p>\n
