This volume contains a series of seminars on parenting presented by the North Haven Right to Read Advisory Council. The major theme of the seminars is the role of the parent in stimulating the child's total development: emotional, social, and intellectual. Specific topics examined are: (1) the young child's view of himself: his basis for learning, (2) infant play, (3) parental involvement in the learning process, (4) parents' role in the preschoolers' learning ability--danger signals, and (5) effects of television on young children.
