About this audiobook

The Infant System: For Developing the Physical, Intellectual and Moral Powers of All Children, From One to Seven Years of Age by Samuel Wilderspin is a groundbreaking work on early childhood education, first published in 1828. Wilderspin was a pioneering English educator who advocated for the importance of early childhood education for all children, regardless of social class. In The Infant System, Wilderspin outlines his approach to early childhood education, which is based on the principles of play, activity, and social interaction. He argues that children learn best through play and doing, and that they should be encouraged to explore their environment and interact with other children. Wilderspin also emphasizes the importance of moral education, and he provides guidance on how to teach children about right and wrong. The Infant System was highly influential in its time, and it helped to lay the foundation for modern early childhood education. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of early childhood education, or in learning more about Wilderspin's pioneering approach.
