Sinopsis

Excerpt from Parents and Their Problems: A Systematic Course in Child Nurture

What we need, and what we are going to get, is a better balanced system of child culture, that will take the child as he is, and our complex civilization as it is, and harmonize and adjust the two in a humane, and scientific manner. - Hygiene and Physical Education.

He who helps a child helps humanity with a distinct ness, with an immediateness, which no other help given to human creatures in any other stage of their human life can possibly give again. - Philli°ps Brooks.

Some children brood silently for years over questions which they do not themselves originate, but which once put into their minds recur again and again, and when put into articulate form are met only with the unsatisfactory answer, 'you aren't Old enough to understand it yet.' Those who remember their own childish puzzles will also remember the vague feeling of injury which such an answer roused.

Excerpt from Parents and Their Problems: A Systematic Course in Child Nurture

Two factors are largely operative in hindering this belief. 1st, The stubborn self-satisfaction with which average men and women believe that they can manage their own children and have them turn out about as well as other people's children. 2nd, A deep-seated and rapidly growing feeling that wife hood and motherhood offer no scope for the powers of a woman of real talent or great energy. She must have special training for a career, while the woman of mediocre ability can without training undertake to marry, run a house, bear, train, feed and largely educate a family of future citizens on Whom the wel fare of the world depends.

The modern young woman who speaks with curl ing lips of being relegated to the kitchen and nursery has no true conception of the dignity of either, of the need for all her powers of mind, heart and body, all her knowledge and culture, if she is to wisely order a home and rear a family of children.
