Children are wonderful conversatinnalists
not only because they say the unexpected, but
because they also say the most entertaining and
scandalous things. David Heller, a psychologist
who taught at Harvard, has an uncanny ability to
get children to talk--to gab and philosophize
with a freedom they rarely display around adults.
With the assistance o f several public school sys-
tems, Dr. Heller was able to sit down and talk with
hundreds of children between the ages of four and
ten. He found that children wanted to share their
ideas about everyday life. As long as a listener was
willing to respect their views and did not interfere
when they became playtul, the budding philoso-
pher and comedian emerged from each child--
ready to unlock a hidden treasure of original ideas
if the right questions were asked.
Dr. Heller focused on six basic subjects: mar-
riage and dating, parenthood, tbod, worldly pos-
sessions, work, and the trials and tribulations of
growing up itself. The result is a book brimming
with perceptive wisdom as well as laugh-out-loud
humor, a book filled with startling insights about
our everyday lives that show just how much chil-
dren know as well as with endearing misconcep-
tions that are touching in their innocence.
While this book is a celebration of the lively and
fun-loving spirit of children, it also inspires adults
in a personal way It will reawaken the child in
each of us that loves to laugh and to poke fun, and
that envisions life as a glorious playground upon
which we can cut loose and be ourselves.
