About This Book

An observant guide to children's minds and upbringing that surveys mental traits—memory, imagination, imitation—alongside moral and social development, daily pleasures, and sources of pathos. The author combines practical advice and reflections on parental roles, discipline, and communal care, arguing for parental proximity, moderation between harshness and indulgence, and attention to children's impressionability. Chapters examine religious feeling, play, organized children's meetings, and the condition of neglected youngsters, offering examples, recommendations, and an appendix of practical notes for caregivers.
