Child of the World by Susan Mayclin Stephenson

Child of the World by Susan Mayclin Stephenson

Stephenson's volume is a wonderful resource for parents seeking thoughtful, sound advice on raising well-grounded children in a chaotic world. Presenting Montessori principles in clear and eloquent prose, Stephenson's legacy will be a tremendous service to generations of parents to come. -Angeline Lillard, PhD, Professor of Psychology, U. of Virginia, author of Montessori, The Science behind the Genius

The author's books are always about making children's and their families' life happier, more interesting, and rewarding, and tailored to each child's developmental stage. Her background in this field is diverse and international. Susan Mayclin Stephenson traveled and studied the civilizations of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia for four months onboard the first university on a ship, now known as The Semester at Sea, in 1963-1964. This sparked a lifelong fascination with cultural differences and parallels, particularly in the area of parenting. Susan worked as a counselor in a juvenile detention center after graduating from San Francisco State University with a double concentration in philosophy and comparative religions.

It was her work with these disturbed young people, who came from both the poorest and wealthiest neighborhoods in San Francisco, that convinced her that the greatest way to realize one's and society's potential is to start as early as possible. Susan graduated from the Maria Montessori Institute (MMI) in London, UK, with a 2.5-6 diploma, and the Washington Montessori Institute (WMI) in Washington, DC, with a 6-12 diploma. She received the 0-3, or Assistants to Infancy (A to I) diploma at The Montessori Institute (TMI) in Denver, Colorado, finished a master's degree in education at Loyola University Maryland, and attended a course on multiple intelligences from Howard Gardner, Harvard University Graduate School of Education, after teaching children from the ages of 2 to 13. Her two children enrolled in the Montessori Assistants to Infancy program so that they could be the best parents they could be.

Susan has visited over 60 countries and frequently expresses her impressions of these places via her art, the most of which are oil paintings that can be found on her website. She's worked with parents and teachers, documented children's developmental stages, advised schools, and assessed Montessori training courses. Susan is also the author of Child of the World: Montessori, Global Education for Children Ages 3 to 12.
