About this book

The preface links the growing importance of preventive medicine with a corresponding need to give the study of infancy and childhood greater prominence. The discussion of nervous overstrain places responsibility for the child's mental environment on the mother or nurse and treats the child's conduct as the criterion of success. The account warns that undue timidity and tearfulness may signal a danger of future nervous disorders.

The account says most mothers are probably neither strikingly proficient nor utterly deficient in managing children. The chapter on nervousness in early infancy describes differences in conduct from birth, contrasting a contented baby with a restless and enterprising baby.
