APHORISMS ON THE MENTAL CULTURE AND TRAINING OF A CHILD, by Pye Henry Chavasse

Product Description

Aphorisms on the Mental Culture and Training of a Child
and on Various other Subjects Relating to Health and Happiness.

by Rye Henry Chavasse

Scarce. Selected from a previously published book (Counsel to a Mother) and dedicated to the patients of the author, this a collection of 428 aphorisms which are according to the author "devoted to the care and management of the body of a child" and further " the care and management of the body should go hand-in-hand with the culture and training of the mind. Anything that improves the one conduces to the advantage of the other". The ideas and themes in this work as operating within a specific field, albeit vaguely defined at the time especially so given its theological themes, would predate the formal establishment of developmental psychology, namely that of leading figures such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget. 286 pages. 5" by 7.25".

A Mother's Eyes can see in her child what no one else can see -- they only want directing aright. She can discern the slightest shade of illness passing over his countenance, which to every one else besides would be overlooked and disregarded; she can read the thoughts passing in his mind; she often can, and frequently does, before he has given utterance to them, anticipate his every wishes.
