About This Book
The work offers a practical, lesson-based guide to child development and home training, combining principles of health, discipline, and character formation with concrete suggestions about play, occupations, art, literature, studies, and financial and religious instruction. It discusses physical growth patterns, common faults and remedies, the influence of parents (including fathers), and questions of sex education, while stressing that general rules require individual adaptability and tact. Each chapter supplies applied guidance, answers to common problems, and a bibliography and study program for further learning.
