Excerpt from Guiding the Adolescent

This interest may be instinctive in the parent or may grow out of his love and sense of responsibility for the child, but accurate infor mation as to the best methods of rearing the child under the condi tions of present-day civilization will not come to the parent in this way. The pamphlets on Prenatal Care, Infant Care, The Child from One to Six, and Child Management were published by the Children's Bureau in the hope of making such information more easily available to parents. As the child begins to grow up, however, the ideas of care and management must be abandoned, for the growing child resents such parental control; he wants to care for and manage himself, and this is not only desirable but essential if he is to become a normal, independent adult. But because the child does not learn to become completely independent all at once, the parent will find it necessary to replace care and management with tactful guidance.

The present pamphlet has been written in the hope of helping parents to understand the adolescent and how they can guide him from childhood to healthy, happy adulthood.
