This is a revised edition of a book first published in 1939 and written primarily for parents. It represents, in the author's words, "A point of view that has grown through the years." It deals with a variety of things with which parents are concerned in rearing their children—authority and freedom, punishment, discipline, truthfulness and lying, individual capacities and formation of attitudes. There is a section on the role of the home, school and community in the child's development. The radios, movies and comics are discussed in an unprejudiced manner.

Throughout the book the author reveals a sympathetic understanding of children and their parents. Her "point of view" seems to this reviewer for the most part wise and useful.
