1871
Jacob Abbott
1871
A guide on child-rearing written during the late 19th century. The book explores the application of gentle yet authoritative methods in parenting, focusing on promoting obedience and moral development in children without resorting to violence or anger. At the start of the work, Abbott discusses three common modes of managing children—manoeuvring and artifice, reason and affection, and authoritative command. He emphasizes the necessity of absolute parental authority, arguing that gentle measures can be effectively used to establish and maintain this authority. Through illustrations and examples, he demonstrates how different methods impact children's behavior and emotional development, laying the groundwork for the principles he will elaborate on throughout the text.
