Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Healthy Child From Two to Seven: A Handbook for Parents, Nurses and Workers for Child Welfare
There is no standing still with childhood; chil dren will grow even under most unfavorable conditions and surroundings, but it will be a stunted growth, something like a plant shut away from fresh air and sunshine.
Whatever qualities children inherit from par ents may be modified by their surroundings either to their advantage or disadvantage. For perfect development of body and mind certain fundamental conditions are essential. It is every child's birthright to have pure air, nourishing food, sleep and rest, plenty of room for play, and careful guidance during these pre-school years. Just as the plant needs proper soil, water and sunshine if it is to bloom and bear fruit, so the human plant must have sunshine, fresh air and good food in order to reach its full development.
