The Idol Child: Addressed To Mothers is a book published in 1849, written by an anonymous author. The book is a guide for mothers on how to raise their children in a way that does not lead to the creation of an idol child. The author argues that an idol child is one who is spoiled, selfish, and self-centered, and who expects to be the center of attention at all times.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of child-rearing. The author begins by discussing the importance of discipline and setting boundaries for children. The author argues that children need to be taught to respect authority and to understand that their actions have consequences.The book also addresses the issue of indulgence and how it can lead to the creation of an idol child. The author argues that parents need to be careful not to give in to their children's every whim and desire, as this can lead to a sense of entitlement and selfishness.The Idol Child also discusses the importance of education and the role that mothers play in their children's intellectual development. The author argues that mothers need to be actively involved in their children's education and should encourage them to read, learn, and explore the world around them.Overall, The Idol Child: Addressed To Mothers is a thoughtful and insightful guide for mothers who want to raise their children to be responsible, respectful, and well-rounded individuals. It provides practical advice and guidance on how to avoid the pitfalls of indulgence and create a healthy, balanced relationship with one's children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
