Child Study Association of America

Description

This folder contains materials created/collected by the Child Study Association of America, an association providing education and resources on child development and child rearing for parents and professionals. The core of the Association's work was with parents enrolled in study groups under the leadership of a professionally trained staff member. According to the Association, its attitude toward parent education was ""a common sense approach to the findings of science."" The CSAA studied psychiatry, psychology, and sociology and interpreted ""sound and useful"" ideas for parents and professionals. In addition to study groups organized at CSAA headquarters in New York City and at private homes in the area, there were a number of groups associated with settlement houses, church and community groups, and housing developments in Harlem and in New York's lower east side. This folder contains routine material ensuing from the creation of ""Children's Anthology for ages 5 to 8,"" as well as a request for stories involving African American children.
