Synopsis

A pioneering work on early childhood development that is as relevant today as when it was first published 60 years ago. To a small child, the world is an exciting but sometimes frightening and unstable place. In The Magic Years, Selma Fraiberg takes the reader into the mind of the child, showing how he confronts the world and learns to cope with it. With great warmth and perception, she discusses the problems at each stage of development and reveals the qualities—above all, the quality of understanding—that can provide the right answer at critical moments. This audiobook is expertly read by Kim Handysides, with audio engineering by Nikki Weinberg. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. Copyright (c) 1959, 1987 Selma H. Fraiberg, renewed by Louis Fraiberg and Lisa Fraiberg (P) (2024) Echo Point Books & Media, LLC.

Goodreads review by Santi on May 27, 2024

Some great insights about kids’ magical view of the world, and how it slowly evolves and incorporates new information. Very 60s pop-Freudian in other parts. “The enlightened parents” do this and that. Worth a skim.......more
