Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the point of view that permissiveness in child rearing is necessary and appropriate for the infant, but as the child becomes more independent and contacts the world on his/her own terms, the doctrine becomes weak and ineffectual while parental guidance and supervision becomes increasingly important. The child initially knows little or nothing of his/her world and must learn about it through loving, caring and reliable guidance and firm control. Phillips discusses the need for a "structuring" of the child's social activity which includes an authoritative (versus authoritarian) parent/teacher style.
