Playtime And Seedtime (1898) - Francis Wayland Parker - Bog

Playtime and Seedtime is a book written by Francis Wayland Parker and published in 1898. The book is a collection of essays on education and child development, written by one of the most influential educators of the late 19th century. Parker was a proponent of progressive education, which emphasized hands-on learning and the importance of individualized instruction.In this book, Parker explores the idea that playtime and seedtime are two essential components of a child's development. Playtime, he argues, is not just a time for fun and games, but also an important opportunity for children to learn and explore the world around them. Seedtime, on the other hand, refers to the time when children are planting the seeds of knowledge and skills that will serve them throughout their lives.Throughout the book, Parker offers practical advice for parents and educators on how to foster a love of learning in children. He emphasizes the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing environment, where children feel safe to take risks and make mistakes. He also stresses the importance of allowing children to follow their own interests and passions, rather than forcing them to conform to a rigid curriculum.Overall, Playtime and Seedtime is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into the nature of education and child development. It is a must-read for anyone interested in progressive education, and an important contribution to the history of educational theory and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
