The School of Infancy is a book written by John Amos Comenius, a renowned educator and theologian of the 17th century. The book is a guide for parents and educators on how to teach infants and young children in a way that is both effective and enjoyable.Comenius believed that children should start learning from a very early age, and that the best way to teach them was through play and exploration. He argued that children should be encouraged to use their senses and their imagination to learn about the world around them, and that they should be given plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore new ideas.The School of Infancy is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of early childhood education. The book covers topics such as language development, physical education, music and art, and moral and spiritual training.Throughout the book, Comenius emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing environment for children, one that encourages them to learn and grow at their own pace. He also stresses the need for parents and educators to be patient and understanding, and to avoid putting too much pressure on young children to perform.Overall, The School of Infancy is a valuable resource for anyone who works with young children, from parents to teachers to caregivers. Its insights and advice are still relevant today, nearly 400 years after it was first published.Labyrinth of the world; Storm of wrath; Father of modern eduction; Nowhere an abiding city; One thing needful, even to death; Children, God's most precious gift; Why God give children and in what parents ought to educate them; Youth demands good education and right instruction; What children should learn; How to develop health and strength; How to learn by seeing and hearing; How to learn by doing; How to learn by speech; How to shape character; How to nurture the soul; How long to keep children in the maternal school; How to prepare children for public school.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
