Some children arrive highly strung, and scolding makes them worse. Hector Charles Cameron, physician to Guy's Hospital, explains the nervous child to parents and doctors: sleep, feeding battles, fears and habits, managed with patience instead of force. A humane landmark of early twentieth-century child medicine. The gentle handling handbook.

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.
