The First Japanese Parenting Books | From the Stacks

Dr. Samuel X. Radbill was a 20th century Philadelphia pediatrician and pediatric historian, who collected historical medical literature from all over the world, many of which were donated to our Historical Medical Library. Among his international acquisitions in our collection is the Shoni Hitsuyo-ki series, Japan's first instructional books on childrearing from the 1700s. Join library staff member Shirley Choi for a look at two of these fascinating books!

I love learning.

[@Terri_MacKay]

I just turned 60, and I'll never get tired of learning new things. I can't understand people who just don't seem to have any curiosity about the world around them, its past, or its future.

It's funny, when I was in school I had no interest in learning the stuff but now that I'm an adult I love learning new stuff. my kids keep telling me I'm an encyclopedia of useless info.lol

The Japanese book on parenting has to be so relevant today - for every generation.
