| Summary: | "Dr. Blatz has prepared this book to help parents, teachers and social service workers understand the young people in their charge. It discusses the development of the child mind, the child's emotional reactions, what the learning process is and the role played in that process by intelligence, motivation, capability, and persistence. Of equal importance is the discussion of the role of parents in these processes and the methods by which they may become educated to their responsibilities. The world today has particular cause to be concerned with the problems of the growing child. Children, no less than adults, are confronted by the uncertainties of a changing world, and the manner In which they become adapted to their society is the measure of their happiness and success In life. To that end an intimate knowledge of the development of the child is imperative if an understanding is to be reached. In this book, Dr. Blatz, one of the world's leading authorities In his field, points the way to that knowledge"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2014 APA, all rights reserved)
