About this book

Parents can shower children with privileges and still overlook their rights. Kate Douglas Wiggin begins these essays by asking whether a child belongs to a parent or has a claim to an independent life. Her answer treats adults as guardians, responsible for protecting childhood and guiding growth with justice. Originally delivered as talks to groups interested in children's training, the collection ranges across play, toys, reading, storytelling, and the place of kindergarten in education and social reform.

The discussion of discipline argues for choices that build responsibility and consideration for others. Kindergarten work and shared play become practical ways to learn cooperation, while automatic obedience and rewards receive a skeptical look. Three essays are contributed by Wiggin's sister, Nora A. Smith.
