Summary:

"Guide To A Child's World shows the parent and the teacher how to teach a child to achieve such things as intelligent self-expression, good manners, and "an enjoyment of learning," for these are the paths to future emotional and mental well-being. Isabelle P. Buckley's aim is to instill "self-expression through self-discipline" in her many pupils, and the measure of her success is evident in the wide acceptance of her working ideas and in the popularity of her schools. Among her more orthodox qualifications as a fine teacher, Mrs. Buckley has one rather seemingly simple (but important) quality that many teachers don't pay much attention to--she likes children and children like her. Guide To A Child's World contains the hard core of Mrs. Buckley's common-sense approaches to the education of children and is an invaluable handbook to both parent and teacher"--Jacket.
