A book which makes available to the interested parent some of the more technical, scientific facts about child development, and which combines with this information a lenient, liberal approach. The chemistry of the body; physiological development and personality responses; heredity- the genetic knows- and environment; the child's physical needs, diet, sleep; patterns of learning and training; delinquency; and finally a chart of skills and needs- year by year.... The coverage, with its scientific base and stress, gives this a particularized interest-if only for the more thorough parent.
