Vision i OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBAJRA 67 PREFACE THE chief aim of this informal handbook for parents is to review and unify, in non-technical language, the findings of modern psychology which bear especially on the laws of mental and moral growth. The time has come when it is not only desirable but necessary to attempt something of this sort; for in the course of their labours the educational, medical, and social psychologists have accumulated a mass of data revealing unsuspected defects, and hinting at marvellous possibilities, in the upbringing of the young. On the one hand, they have shown that not enough heed has been paid to the hampering influences of an unfavourable environment and physical maladjustment ;and, on the other hand, they have made it clear that, by instituting certain reforms, it is entirely feasible to develop mental and moral vigour in the mass of mankind to an astonishing degree.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the burgeoning field of psychology, examining its findings on mental and moral development in children. The author argues that scientific discoveries offer hope in creating a new generation of virtuous, intelligent human beings. The book reviews studies undermining previously held notions of innate depravity, highlighting instead the overwhelming power of environment and early childhood experiences in shaping character. The author asserts the critical importance of good parenting and environment and debunks the idea that wrong-doing is inevitable or a result of bad heredity, putting the responsibility for a child's upbringing squarely with the parents. The book provides real-world examples from studies and case histories to illustrate how parental guidance and positive influences can transform lives, reducing crime and creating a better future. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
