WRONG
by Dorothy K. Whyte
Your child's awareness and appreciation of what
is right can be his key to a happy, successful life.
Unwillingness or inability to be a good, self-reliant
citizen can mean abject failure and heartbreak for
young people and their parents.
DO YOU WANT TO HELP?
Parents who recognize their responsibility for essen
tial ethical training may not know what they can do t
to help. Do you? This inspiring book uses the "case
method" of actual family experiences to tell you how
to help your child handle the principal problems that
are bound to arise along the slow, gradual path of
growing up to a sense of social responsibility.
The Family advisor of one of the world's largest Insurance Companies offers a
dependable answer to your child's problems in acquiring a sense of social responsibility.
WHAT EXACTLY DO WE
MEAN BY RIGHT OR WRONG?
by wanting children to be good and to grow up to be
good? Not merely that they be well-mannered, certainly
not that they be blindly obedient, and decidedly not that
they remain docile and unquestioning.
It's a tall order, but ethical behavior is surely the kind
of behavior parents want their children to develop. For
this is not born into any child; neither is it inherited. It
comes from parents' loving recognition that each child is
an individual in his own right, and is nurtured by their
acceptance of him as he is.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GUIDE
YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT
Straight-from-the shoulder, hard hitting advice is the key
note of this book. And the advice is specific. Here are
some of the guidelines not formulas for parents in their
far from easy task of helping their children become good
citizens and happy, self-reliant, contributing members of
society:
how to start ethical living early
how to help a child accept himself
how to anticipate a child's actions
how to help a child in school and help the
school, too
how to take a stand about television
how to help a child be a part of the family
democracy how to deal with prejudice
how to explain difficult situations to a child
how to keep flexible

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
Teaching Your Child Right from Wrong i a needed and
valuable addition to the bookshelf of all parents and
child caring personnel. Punctuated by dozens of exam
ples, this is the story of how children can and should be
stood by and supported in their relentless battle toward
growth, maturation, education, socialization and the ac
quisition of a capacity to give and take, and love and be
loved. This is a book about learning to know the right;
having the desire to follow it and the capacity to do so
without an aura of the clinical and of psychopathology.
This is a book on very real primary prevention of deviant
behavior and mental illness.
ROBERT E. SWITZER, M.D., Director, Children's
Service, The Menninger Foundation
Teaching Your Child Right from Wrong is very well done,
and in a unique uv. As parents read the tittle case
histories throughout the book, they are bound to recall
similar happenings in their own families and with their
own chldren. Here they will find recognizable examples
that might well serve as guides to action in many a puz
zling parent-child situation. For this reason, i think the
book should be unusually helpful.
