Talking To Parents
In this collection of radio talks given after 1955, renowned British pediatrician and psychologist Winnicott (1896-1971) addresses psychological aspects of child rearing with the goal of giving parents confidence in their instincts. Following an introduction by T. Berry Brazelton, an article on "Health Education Through Broadcasting," written by Winnicott in 1957, introduces the actual talks. Those reprinted here cover stepparenting, infant thumb- or cloth-sucking, saying no, jealousy, maternal irritation and guilt, development of a moral sense, and building trust. Never belittling or hectoring in his comments, Winnicott makes an important contribution to child psychology while offering practical advice. Recommended for parenting collections in public libraries and for child development collections in academic libraries.- Kay Brodie, Chesapeake Coll., Wye Mills, Md.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
