Thank you to goodreads friend Alexandra for kindly adding a link which can be found at the end of the comments for this review. Thank you to goodreads friend J.Boo for sending me a PDF of this book. I found this really interesting. This was a short read and consisted of a question and answer style interview of two parents who decided to raise their children to be a genius in a chosen subject.
The parents decided this before they conceived their children and considered ideas for their education. Their belief was that any child with a parent who was willing to instruct their child or find someone who could, in a way they could devote time to their chosen specialist field at the same time make learning fun could succeed in creating their genius. They strongly believed that a child was made a genius rather than born a genius. Lazlo chose to specialise with his three daughters in chess and they all went on to become hugely successful chess players, all grandmasters I believe. This book focused largely on their chess tuition, it would have been interesting to hear what their broader education consisted of. What I loved about this book was the parents belief that learning should be consentual and fun, and what could be achieved by this.
I enjoyed reading the mum's thoughts on how the jewish religion teaches parents that they are their childs first teacher. I think this is profoundly true, I think the first years of life are so important in terms of how thought processes are formed. I appreciated their concern too that their girls where happy, well adjusted individuals, which they seem to be. The girls achievements listed at the end were definitely impressive. “For me it is an internal law to do good. In my whole life I have endeavored to realize high moral values; I have always believed in moral ideas, and as a pedagogue and a father I have always disseminated them.
I could not live otherwise than what I profess. Striving for harmony between words and actions, needing to put ideas into practice, is an integral part of my moral concept and practice. Because of this every kind of small-souled reaction, vengeance, or trickery is far from me - for me openness is an internal command. Although I know that this book will “incite” many to attack, I know that people will criticize and offend me, and I have exposed myself to hostile action, but nevertheless I am taking this step - not following the counsel of the wise king Solomon: “Do not be too virtuous, and do not reason too much: why must you confuse yourself?” —.
