Preface
I am rather shy about this little book.
If it were not for the kindness of some few friends whose knowledge of children far exceeds my own, it would never have seen the light.
For their encouragement and for the gift of their experiences and advice I am deeply grateful. I know that they would rather I did not mention them by name.
The thoughts which I have tried to put together have been growing in my mind for years. Some, in fact, I have quoted from articles I wrote some time ago for a magazine no longer in existence.
Perhaps my best excuse for letting this book appear is that, though I have no children of my own, other people’s children have always been very good to me.
