Description

Vintage Hardcover – A Plan for Growing Up (1961 Print) by Marion Quinlan Davis | Educational Parenting Book This is a rare vintage hardcover edition of A Plan for Growing Up: The Blue Book for Building Better Lives, printed in 1961. Authored by Marion Quinlan Davis, M.S., with a foreword by John Frederick Dashiell, Ph.D., and contributions from Garry Cleveland Myers, Ph.D., and Dorothy E. Norris, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into mid-20th-century perspectives on child development, parenting, and education. This volume sets up complete maturity as the final goal and presents the methods for developing character traits that help the child to grow to meet the tests of adulthood. The emphasis is always on the development of right attitudes rather than breaking wrong habits. Prevention, not cure, is the theme of all the chapters. Published by The Richards Company, Inc., New York, this edition features a classic blue cloth cover with visible signs of age, including some discoloration and spotting on the inside pages—adding to its authentic vintage charm. A wonderful addition for collectors of educational literature, vintage parenting guides, or historical child welfare materials. Condition: Good vintage condition. Cover shows wear consistent with age. Interior pages have some spotting but are intact and legible. This comes from a smoke-free environment. NOTE: Will not reply to messages trying to haggle. Can accept cash, Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal. #greatbook
