every single thing (Lawrence E. Shapiro, 2004). It means the children can be
taught to do everything and they have highest confident eventhough it is bad in
result even seems impossible. By this thing, Maria Montessori suggested that at
that time all the children get what she calls as absorbent mind. Montessori’s
ideas which stated in that book are outstanding. One of her ideas is the power
of children’s brain in chatch everything then they will mastery faster and

potential development and children intellegence for future. Children in early
age in Golden Ages need to get stimulation optimally. Education to them is the
