Genius, laziness, laughter, fear: H. Addington Bruce applies the new psychology to each in turn, asking what parents can actually do about the minds in their care. Chapters on suggestion in education and hysteria in childhood show the 1910s discovering the child's inner life. Popular psychology at its most parental. Science, brought home to the nursery.

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.
