"Study of child psychology is not a child\'s play. It requires more patience, understanding and sensitivity than the study of adult\'s behaviour of child\'s psychology like heredity, environment and acquired traits in a classroom and playground. Needless to say media influence is stronger than any other factor. All these require empirical as well personalized studies for experimentation and inferences for treatment and course correction. This book provides a systematic framework to study and teach this crucial subject." (jacket)
