| Abstract: | In his fascinating short essay ‘In Defence of Baby Worship’, the British author and Catholic convert G. K. Chesterton gives us some good reasons why children are our best teachers. The “influence of children” as they stand in awe of everything that crosses their gaze, says Chesterton, “forces us actually to remodel our conduct in accordance with the revolutionary theory of the marvellousness of all things”. For Chesterton, children point us heavenward by virtue of their authentic and simple way of being, their sheer lack of presumptuousness, as in their attitude of relating with the world around them with a renewed sense of awe. |
