Siła dziecięcej argumentacji

Abstract

The author analyzes utterances produced by a boy suffering from ADHD. Arguments that the boy used were convincing, although they were neither factual nor scientific from adults’ point of view. It is difficult to state if the boy’s argumentative skill is studied or spontaneous. His selection of motives and grounds seems to be natural but it is also stimulated, supported by hard and clear-sighted work on thinking and language which the boy was encouraged to do by a sensitive and wise environment.
