"This volume is not meant to be a textbook of child psychology. It is not intended to lay down a set of rules and regulations of the thou-shalt and thou-shalt-not variety. It is the outgrowth of years of earnest work with children and their parents. It is an answer to the many recurrent, almost stereotyped, questions asked by mothers in the office, in the parlor, and in group discussions. The author describes his work as the humble attempt of one who does not know it all and cannot fix it all, who after many more years of effort will still regard himself as a struggling novice, who loves and enjoys his life's work with other people's children as thoroughly as he loves and enjoys his work and play with his own two children. Each chapter takes a common sense approach to issues and questions that parents often have in regard to raising their children. The author advocates taking an optimistic over a pessimistic view of a child's behavior and how it will affect his or her future. He uses humor liberally and illustrates his points with anecdotes of parents he has worked with who have experienced the same issues with their own children. Common childrearing problems discussed in this volume include parents worrying about what could go wrong with a child's health; learning how to balance discipline with the child's emerging independence; showing love for your child without smothering them; over-concern with the content of children's books, eating behavior, and thumb-sucking to name a few."
