Summary:

"Libraries are full of scientific books on the child. Then why add another? Because most of the present ones were written for other investigators and not for parents. This is not a scientific book, though it is based on science. It is not written for scientists unless they are also parents who need help in this particular field. It is not written for those parents who have already learned of the new methods, who realize their responsibilities and understand child nature; and who have grown up under the new teaching. The book is written for those parents who are worried about their children or who have never had the opportunity to learn the results of modern research in child nature; and any others who want to know or need to know the newest discoveries and latest thought on the subject. It is written for those parents who want to know what science has discovered that ordinary parents can use to help them bring up children who will be a credit to their parents and will be able to contribute to the general welfare and progress of civilization. These are days when we need men and women who are capable of appreciating the new conditions under which we are living in this new atomic age"-- Preface.
