Abstract
Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Additional informationNotes on contributorsLesley WebbLesley Webb has had extensive experience of teaching infants and juniors. She spent seven years in Bethnal Green, seven as head of an infants' school in Hertfordshire, and a similar period in a college of education. She has published several books concerned with infant and nursery education.Here she is particularly concerned with the difficulties presented by those ‘problem’ children who are to be found in any infants' school. She offers no easy recipes, no instant panaceas, but some guiding principles enshrined in two major ideas — the development of personal adequacy in the child and the development of the school as a therapeutic community. Is she claiming too much for the school? Or have we become desensitised to its importance by those psychologists and sociologists who have stressed the importance of the first five years of a child's life?
