About This Book

The author offers concise, experience-based guidance for parents on shaping children's habits and character, emphasizing training over mere teaching and favoring will-training rather than will-breaking. Short, focused chapters address discerning needs, wise denial, respecting individuality, letting alone, self-control, appetites, questioning, religious and Sabbath instruction, play and amusements, courtesy and reading habits, family conversation, companionships, discipline without anger, dealing with fears and sorrows, and the importance of home atmosphere and maternal influence. Practical examples and rules of thumb aim to help parents apply gentle, steady methods that cultivate habits, sympathy, imagination, and moral sense throughout childhood.
