Summary: One of Damon's best books for parents, educators...
Comment: William Damon has written a number of excellent scientific articles and books on social and self-development of children. In this book, designed for a lay audience of parents and teachers, Damon outlines the moral development of children, all of which takes place in the social crucible of family, childhood and adolescent friends, and school. He is a long way from being a naive moralist, however. Instead, Damon focuses on the factors that encourage moral development (what he calls "responsive engagement" with children) and those that discourage it (authoritarianism, permissive parenting, disconnected parenting, self-centered, etc.).
His reasoning is quite clear. I liked best his summary section (p. 117-119) on how moral development occurs in childhood, and I think it is the best summary for lay persons that I have ever encountered. Another strength of the book is that Damon clearly contrasts competing theories well (for example, theories of "best parenting practices"). His summary of how to foster children's emotional and moral growth (Chapter 7) is quite good.
Damon's knowledge of the psychological/social literature is very broad. This book is well-referenced. Nevertheless, academic readers may be discontended, because this book is aimed at parents, teachers, and other lay adults. Like many readers, the academic readers will look forward to reading Damon's other books.

Summary: Moral Child: Nurturing Children's Natural Moral Growth
Comment: The book made it to me in fine condition.
However, I had trouble staying awake throughout the reading. I found the material to be rather redundant and unhelpful as to the conclusion and steps to take thereafter. I had to read this bok for a college class and do not recommend it for anyone.
