Korczak exhorts adults to see in every child, first and foremost, the Human worthy of respect. This book is aimed at non-specialist audience. “Have respect for each hour that passes, for each passing day. What will a child amount to tomorrow if we do not allow him to live consciously and responsibly today?” – Janusz Korczak
