The United Nations' designation of 1979 as the International Year
of the Child marked the first global effort undertaken to heighten
awareness of the special needs of children. Activities initiated
during this special year were designed to promote purposive and
collaborative actions for the benefit of children throughout the
world. Michigan State University's celebration of the International
Year of the Child was held from Septem ber 1979 through June 1980.
A variety of activities focused attention on the multiplicity of
factors affecting the welfare of today's children as well as the
children of the future. Many people involved with the university
were concerned that benefits to children continue beyond the
official time allocated to the celebration. The series Child
Nurturance is one response to this concern. The first five volumes
of Child Nurturance reflect directly the activities held on the
Michigan State University campus and consist of original
contributions from guest speakers and invited contributors.
Subsequent biennial volumes will present original contributions
from individuals representing such fields as anthropology, biology,
education, human ecology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, and
medicine. We hope the material presented in these volumes will
promote greater understanding of children and encourage
interdisciplinary inquiry into the individual, family, societal and
cultural variables which influence their welfare and development.
We would like to express both our thanks and our admiration for
Margaret Burritt who not only typed the camera-ready copy for each
of the volumes, but also served as general manager of the entire
project."
