Toys, Play and Discipline in Childhood is an expansion and development of the author’s earlier title Play and Toys in Early Years. It examines the areas of toys, play and discipline in a child’s life from babyhood, up to school-age children. The author had spent 25 years teaching children between the ages of 2 and 12 years and had come to realize how closely linked play and discipline are in the development of young children. At the time there were very few books that dealt with play, and parents needed advice and help in catering for their children’s needs. The book ends with an appendix of useful toys and a reading list of approved books.
Condition
Scarce to find in its first edition form. The book is in very good condition. The dustwrapper suffers from some edgewear and chipping and loss to the top edge but is essentially good.
