Lighthearted Pedagogy

Here, under one cover, are three works by the outstanding Polish humanist, educator, and writer Janusz Korczak. "Lighthearted Pedagogy" is a cycle of radio conversations that Korczak held in 1935-1936 under the pseudonym Old Doctor. "Rules of Life" (1930) is an essay that the author calls a "scientific book." Here, he presents various situations related to the behavior of children and adults, showing children how the laws of life work, how to behave better to live joyfully and maintain human dignity. "Educational Moments" (1919) contains vivid observations from his rich experience in communicating with children.
