The Significance of the Home for the Child's Emotional Development During the First Six Years
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
I do not think that anyone, professional or layman, will contradict the statement that the family unit is, at least in our culture, the best medium for the growing child. Yet, although there is tacit recognition of this fact, it is only in recent years that more attention is being paid to providing for children, who in infancy are left without parents, with this most suitable environment for their development. In this and other countries there are still vast institutions, insufficiently staffed, entrusted with the task of bringing up hundreds of children who, we know, will become unsatisfactory citizens.
