About this book
The Mothercraft Manual by Mary L. Read defines mothercraft as the practical work of nourishing and training children in a sympathetic, happy, religious spirit. The discussion of growth describes development as periodic and variable, with different parts or systems growing at different rates and at different ages. The account of individual differences says children may normally vary from average growth rates by one to two years and distinguishes chronological, physiological, and psychological age.
The chapter on play defines play as spontaneous self-activity and quotes an account of childhood play as the germinal leaves of later life. The definition of mothercraft extends responsibility beyond physical parenthood to women who have dealings with children as teachers, nurses, or friends.
