the Gentle Revolution

who insisted that I go through life

standing on their shoulders

The Gentle Revolution began quietly, ever so quietly, more than a

quarter of a century ago. It was and is the most gentle of all

revolutions. It is possibly the most important of revolutions and surely

the most glorious.

Consider first the objective of the Gentle Revolution: to give all parents

the knowledge required to make highly intelligent, extremely capable

and delightful children, and by so doing to make a highly humane, sane

and decent world.

Consider next the revolutionaries—as unlikely

a bunch as can be imagined. There are three groups of them.

First there are the newborn babies of the world, who have always been

there with their vast, almost undreamed-of potential.

Second there are the mothers and fathers who have always had their

dreams as to what their babies might become. Who could have be-

lieved that their wildest dreams might actually fall short of the real

potential?

Finally there is the staff of the Institutes for the Achievement of

Human Potential, who since 1940 have come to recognize the stunning

truth about children, truth over which they have tripped time and time

again during the many years they have searched for it.

Babies, mothers, staff—an unlikely bunch to

bring about the most important revolution in history.

And what an unlikely revolution.

Who ever heard of a revolution in which there is no death, no pain, no

torture, no torment, no bloodshed, no hatred, no starvation, no

destruction? Who ever heard of a gentle revolution?

In this most gentle of revolutions there are two foes. The first are those

most implacable of enemies, The Ancient Myths, and the second is that

most formidable foe. The Way Things Are

It is not necessary that old traditions be destroyed but only that long-

held false beliefs wither away unmourned. It is not necessary that what

is of value today be smashed to bits but only that those things which

are presently destructive dissolve as a product of disuse.

Who would mourn the demise of ignorance, incompetence, illiteracy,

unhappiness and poverty?

Would not the elimination of such ancient foes bring about a gentler

world with less need for violence, killing, hatred and war—or perhaps

no need at all?

What discoveries could possibly have led to such lovely dreams?

What happened more than a quarter of a century ago?

Our first realization was that it is possible to teach babies to read. As

unlikely as that sounded it is not only true but it is even true that it is

easier to teach a one-year-old to read than it is to teach a seven-year-

old. Much easier.

By 1964 we had written a book for mothers called How to Teach

Your Baby to Read. That book was an instant success and the Gentle

Revolution began. Scores of mothers wrote almost immediately to tell

of their joy in reading the book and their success in teaching their

children.

Then hundreds wrote to tell what had happened to their children after

they had learned to read. Thousands of mothers bought the book and

taught their babies to read.

The book was published in British and Australian editions and in

Afrikaans, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew,

Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Malay, Portuguese, Spanish

and Swedish.

Tens of thousands of mothers wrote to tell us of what had happened.

What those mothers reported with delight and pride was that

back in English.

Every day letters arrive from mothers, as they have since 1964.

Those letters are paeans, and the song of joy and praise they sing is of

the vast potential of their babies at the first instants of its realization.

These mothers tell us of the confirmation of their intuitive feelings

about their babies' innate abilities and of their own absolute

determination that their children should have every opportunity to be

all they are capable of being.

As we go around the world and to every continent we get to talk to

thousands of mothers individually and in groups. In the most

sophisticated societies and in the simplest ones we ask this question:

"Would every mother in the group who thinks her child is doing as

well as he ought to be doing, please put up her hand." It's always the

same. Nobody moves. Perhaps they are just bashful so we reverse the

question to see if that's what it is:

"Will every mother in the room who thinks her child is not doing as

well as he could be doing, please put up her hand." Now every hand in

the room goes up. Everybody in the world knows that something is

wrong in the world of children—but nobody does anything about it

1. Their babies had easily learned to read;

2. Their babies had loved learning;

3. Mother and baby had increased the degree of love between them

(which they reported with much pleasure but no surprise);

4. The amount of respect of mother for child and child for mother had

grown by leaps and bounds (this they reported with much joy and a

good deal of surprise);

5. As their children's ability to read grew, their love of learning grew and

so did their abilities in many things.

Today that book is in eighteen languages and more than two million

mothers have bought How to Teach Your Baby to Read in hard
