Notes
David Elkind, an American child psychologist and author, held positions as Professor of Psychology at Tufts University and University of Rochester. His research built upon the theories of Jean Piaget.
In this lecture, Elkind addresses how the child's vision of reality differs from adult perception, and builds on Piaget's assertion that school curricula for young children must respect and engage the child's point of view.
