Originally published in 1955, Toys, Play and Discipline in Childhood is an expansion and development of the author's earlier title Play and Toys in Early Years. It examines the areas of toys, play and discipline in a child's life from babyhood, up to school-age children. The author had spent 25 years teaching children between the ages of 2 and 12 years and had come to realize how closely linked play and discipline are in the development of young children. At the time there were very few books that dealt with play, and parents needed advice and help in catering for their children's needs. Written at a time where nursery education was still a relatively new concept, this book would have been an invaluable resource for both parents and nursery teachers. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
