This small pamphlet is packed full of sound principles about child development and behavior, and gives many clues to the better management of the so-called behavior problems that beset parents, teachers and pediatricians so overwhelmingly today. Although it was written for parents and teachers primarily, this material may serve the pediatrician as well, as a primer on child psychology. The authors present their material briefly, in simple English with apt illustrations. The construction of the paragraphs facilitates further ease of reading and grasp of information.

Abstract In this article, it is argued that William Stern was a forerunner of human science thinking in child psychology. Stern’s view of development, though widely neglected even among humanists, is consonant with human science thought on the whole as well as human science child developmental theory. Certain core characteristics of human science psychology are noted with special emphasis on how they relate to the study of child development. Stern’s views are then shown to be illustrative of these characteristics. In addition, various aspects of Stern’s highly humanistic approach to child development are shown to be relevant today.
