Voyage Through Childhood into the Adult World: A Guide to Child Development
Human beings have a long infancy during which they are dependent upon others for the means of life and growth. Many of Eva Frommer’s ideas in this book are derived from her professional observations as a child psychiatrist, and include her personal distillations of Rudolf Steiner’s teachings. A deep concern for the uniqueness of each individual child permeates this book, while offering practical solutions to the challenges of raising a child at each stage of his or development.
