has helped organize, worked with,

tween two generations, parents
and children.
Child Study, believe it or not,
is a very controversial subject.
Bitterness is aroused on both
sides by over Jealous converts
who suddenly feel they know all
the answers and those who sneer
at Child Study as "just lot OF

Until you have tried it your.

of talk. After all what else is

into what is wrong. Revelations

is will not make the problems dis
