Gentle Measures in the Management and Training of the Young

About this film

LibriVox recording of Gentle Measures in the Management and Training of the Young, by Jacob Abbott. Read by volunteer readers. Subtitled, "The principles on which a firm parental authority may be established and maintained, without violence or anger, and the right development of the moral and mental capacities be promoted by methods in harmony with the structure and the characteristics of the juvenile mind." This book gives practical advice on how to raise children using "gentle measures" that do not damage the children's emotions or self esteem. Most of the information is as relevant and practical today as it was when published in 1871.
