First published in 1999, the focus of this ground-breaking study is
on representing the mental world of the child with unprecedented
clarity. Cedric Cullingford aims to show that this world, in its
normal experience by children, is significantly unlike what we
typically assume it to be, and significantly unlike anything
exposed by the most prominent research programs. Querying common
assumptions about children's thinking, Cullingford begins with an
outline of children's understanding which emphasizes its range and
complexity, along with an address of the mythology of children's
intellectual incapacity and preparation for the approach to be
taken in detailing children's construction of a sense of their
world. The following four chapters combine to construct a
description of how children approach their world, exploring theory
of mind, the self, the family, the school and then the wider social
and physical worlds. Cullingford achieves a vividness, immediacy
and intensity not seen elsewhere, using the constant medium of the
child's gaze and demonstrating that the youngest child is not
simply responsive but is active and critical in interrogating the
world.
