The author of the Rollo books believed children could be governed without being broken. Jacob Abbott's 1871 manual lays out three modes of management, defines what gentle measures really are, and shows how authority and affection cooperate in the gentle punishment of disobedience. American parenting advice at its kindest and most systematic. Firmness that never raises its voice.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
