This acclaimed guide to children�s physical, psychological, and spiritual development combines medical advice with issues of upbringing and education, this is a definitive guide for parents. It outlines the connection between education and healing, with all that this implies for the upbringing and good health of children. Medical, educational, and religious questions often overlap, and in the search for the meaning of illness, it is necessary to study the child as a whole: as a being of body, soul, and spirit.

The first section covers childhood ailments and home-nursing. The second looks at the healthy development of children and how to create the best conditions for them.
