Beschreibung
To keep children clean is something that should never be attempted. It cannot be done. The mere provision of the vegetable is not sufficient; it must be actually eaten. If there is room enough for somersaults, the child can be satisfied. These are just a few of the words of wisdom on offer in How to be a Good Parent,. the latest in a series of delightful advice books from the Bodleian Library that also includes How to be a Good Husband. and How to be a Good Wife. As developmental psychology began to show promise, beleaguered parents were drawn to the nascent discipline with the sorts of questions that will be familiar to any parent: How does one tell a toddler "no" without triggering a tantrum. Are there circumstances in which it's acceptable to extract good behavior with bribery. How to be a Good Parent. brings together bits from the best of advice books of the 1920s and '30s, taking readers through all the challenges involved in raising a child. Among the topics discussed are good-and bad-behavior, how to dress one's dear son or darling daughter, mealtime, and the dreaded morning and bedtime routines. A section on taking medicine offers sage advice: "Gargling is a useful accomplishment" (while perhaps not appropriate for the dinner table). In a section on playtime, parents tasked with planning their child's birthday will warmly welcome the book's advice to "let the children give their own parties. " By turns humorously old-fashioned and timeless, How to be a Good Parent. is a charmingly illustrated guide to what any parent can tell you is the world's most difficult job.
