The creative possibilities of these children were so wide that Glen Doman himself called them children of the Renaissance.

Masaru Ibuka. “After three it’s too late”
This surprisingly good book does not make stunning statements. The author simply assumes that young children have the ability to learn anything. He believes that what they learn without any effort at 2, 3 or 4 years in the future is given to them with difficulty or not at all given. According to him, the fact that adults learn with difficulty, children learn effortlessly. What adults learn at a snail’s rate children learn almost immediately. He said that adults sometimes are too lazy to study while the children are ready to learn at all times. And he says it gently and tactfully. His book is simple, straightforward and crystal clear.
