Psychology and parenthood

"Psychology and Parenthood" by H. Addington Bruce is an instructional manual from the early 1900s that connects the study of the mind to the raising of children. It teaches parents how to help their kids grow mentally and morally. Parents learn how much their actions and the world around them affect how their children will grow and what kind of people they'll become. The book starts with an introduction where the writer tells us that he wants to give parents ideas about using psychology to be better caregivers. Bruce makes a point of saying that what happens to kids early in life and where they grow up are important in shaping how they act and who they are, by showing different outcomes based on how children are raised. He thinks parents have a big job and a great chance to help their kids think and act right, stating that kids can do better than what is currently seen in society if they have good advice and a helpful place to grow.
