Japanese Concepts of Child Development from the Mid-17th to Mid-19th Century.

Kojima, Hideo

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v9 n3 p315-29 Sep 1986

Summarizes beliefs and values about child rearing from documents written by experts on the mid-17th to mid-19th centuries. The experts argued that children are innately good rather than evil; environmental factors accounted for differences among children rather than innate factors; and children were autonomous rather than passive learners.
