Family Care
On the Training of Parents
Ernest Hamlin Abbott
84 pages~1 hr 40 min read10 chapters$1.99
It is the parents who need training, argues Ernest Hamlin Abbott, and children who provide it. His wry essays, with titles like Peace at a Price and The Beginning of Wisdom, upend the child-rearing manual by studying the adults instead. Gentle satire with serious intent from the 1900s. Report for instruction; your children are waiting.
