Explore how a child’s mind unfolds in the early years, from sensing the world to thinking and speech.

This volume, Part II of The Mind of the Child, presents Professor W. Preyer’s careful observations on how intellect develops in the first years of life. Translated from the original German and annotated for practical use, it traces language growth, thought, and the beginnings of self-awareness through detailed, accessible examples. A concise conspectus by the translator helps readers see development by month, making the findings useful for educators and curious readers alike.

With clear discussions on how children learn to speak, understand commands, and form early concepts, the work offers a grounded view of developmental milestones and everyday behavior. The presentation emphasizes observed patterns over speculation, inviting readers to compare infant and toddler progress with careful, real-world observations.

In-depth look at speech development and its link to thinking.
Monthly organization to track developmental milestones and language growth.
Accessible translations and practical notes suitable for students and educators.
Balanced, observational approach grounded in long-running scholarly study.

Ideal for readers of child development, psychology, and education, plus anyone seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based portrait of early intellect.
