1. What is a Sensitive Period?
Sensitive periods are a term coined by the Dutch geneticist Hugo de Vries and adopted by Italian educator Maria Montessori to refer to important periods of childhood development.
Montessori believed that every human being goes through a series of quantum leaps in learning during the pre-school years. Drawing on the work of de Vries, she attributed these behaviors to the development of specific areas of the human brain, which she called nebulae. She felt this was especially true during the first few years of life, from birth (or before) to the time of essentially complete development of the brain, about age 6. Montessori observed overlapping periods during which the child is particularly sensitive to certain types of stimuli or interactions which she called Sensitive periods.
According to Maria Montessori, there are particular times or block of time when the child is attracted to certain activities in order for specific development to occur. In other pedagogies it can get called developmental milestones or windows of opportunities.
Sensitive period is:- * A special sensitivity that arouses a strong spontaneous desire to learn and master some
