Excerpt from Child Nature Child Nurture: A Text-Book for Parents' Classes, Mothers' Clubs, Training Classes for Teachers of Young Children, and for Home StudyThe topics that are discussed in this little book are all related to the training of young children. Occasionally suggestions are offered as to the application of the principles that are presented to the shaping of the characters of children who are over twelve years of age, but it is chiefly to guard against the danger of misunderstanding or misapplication of the methods that are recommended for use with those who are younger. The difficult problems that rise in the training of the adolescent boy or girl have purposely been reserved for future volumes, as in many cases the methods to be used with them must be very different, - indeed sometimes almost the reverse of those that will be most helpful with the young child.Even in this limited field of the moral education of the young child the lessons deal with only a part of the fundamental problems that every parent must face. In a companion volume others of these will be discussed in a similar way, especial attention being given to the matters that most intimately concern the child's religious training.The lessons are designed to be suggestive only.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
