What is education? Pediatrician Remo H. Largo, author of the bestseller "Baby Years," offers insights into child development from toddlerhood to the threshold of adulthood. He addresses fundamental questions about heredity and environment, children's basic needs and abilities, the significance of maturation, and self-determined experiences: How does a child's individuality develop? How do strong relationships form? How do children become self-confident and happy adults? How do they find their suitable life? What can parents contribute to their child's development? In clear and understandable language, Remo H. Largo illustrates through numerous examples that education means supporting the child in their development so that they can become the being that is inherent within them.
