The text delves into the intricate and often overlooked aspects of children's minds, exploring their perceptions, emotions, and understandings of the world around them. The author aims to document his insights and observations derived from interacting with children, highlighting their needs for love, imagination, and proper upbringing. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deep examination of childhood, starting with an exploration of the societal changes regarding the treatment of children over the past few decades. How discusses the shift from strict, disciplinary upbringing to a more understanding and nurturing approach, portraying the evolution in attitudes toward children's rights and well-being. He notes that literature about and for children has also gained prominence, reflecting a growing interest in understanding their psyche. This initial discussion establishes a foundation for How's examination of various aspects of childhood, including memory, imagination, religion, and the natural tendencies to imitate, all crucial for appreciating the richness of a child's inner world.
