'To keep children clean is something that should never be
attempted. It cannot be done.' 'The mere provision of the vegetable
is not sufficient; it must be actually eaten.' 'If there is room
enough for somersaults, the child can be satisfied.' Many books of
advice for new parents were published during the 1920s and 30s,
influenced by the growth of developmental psychology and aimed at
the aspirant middle classes who were taking a more hands-on role in
the raising of their offspring. This compendium brings together
nuggets from the best of these titles in one handy volume. Chapters
include good - and bad - behaviour, meals and mealtimes, dress and
deportment, children's parties and playtime and storytelling, with
sections on the all-important saying 'No!' and good bedtime habits.
Illustrated with charming contemporary line drawings, this little
book is full of no-nonsense, old-fashioned parenting advice: a gem
of a guide for anyone new to the hardest job in the world.
