Guideposts for Growing Up. Copyright 1969 by Standard Education Corporation, Chicago, Illinois.

This vintage copy of Elizabeth B. Hurlock’s 1960′s manual, Guideposts for Growing Up is filled with lots of useful ideas on how to make your job as a parent more rewarding and joyful.

The standard parenting topics are covered in the book’s 28 chapters, but there are some fun ones too. Bed – or Bedlam? What About Schedules? and How do I Rate as a Parent? provided us with lots of interesting insights and tactics to try! And a special mention must go to Donald G. Wheeler, who’s picture perfect illustrations act as a gentle reminder that parenthood needn’t be all work and no play.
