You and Your Child
RANDOLPH K. BYERS M.D.
Dr. De Kok's book is a very comfortable discussion of the relations between mother, father, and a baby throughout the early years of life.
Its greatest strength, it seems to me, is the pointing out of the fact that all of the processes of growing up and education in the home and in school form a continuum in which a developmental pattern can be discerned. For instance, her chapter on sex education points out that sex education is not something that can abruptly be given by a parent at a certain age, but that sex education begins with the adorning consciousness of the child himself and continues until sexual maturity needing here and there a little guidance and a little information from home rather than an abrupt lecture on "the facts of life."
