More from Trumbull’s Hints on Child-Training:
“The measure of willpower is the measure of personal power, with a child as with an adult. The possession or the lack of willpower is the possession or the lack of personal power, in every individual’s sphere of life and being. The right or the wrong use of willpower is the right or the wrong exercise of an individual’s truest personality. Hence the careful guarding and the wise guiding of a child’s will should be counted among the foremost duties of one who is responsible for a child’s training.”
