It seems simple enough when we say that we must overcome evil with good, but practically no process is more involved, or more tedious, than to find actual means to accomplish this end. It is much easier to say what one shall not do than what one must do to change self-will into strength of character, slyness into prudence, the desire to please into amiability, restlessness into personal initiative. Childhood education shapes and sizes our future personality. In this context this book Education of the Child is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, and researchers. This book in a very systematic way discusses emotional intellectual and infant cognitive development. (Jacket)
