Bend or Break: A Story for Parents, Not Children (1872)

Bend Or Break: A Story For Parents, Not Children is a book written by An Old Bachelor and published in 1872. The book is a cautionary tale for parents about the dangers of spoiling their children and failing to discipline them properly. The story follows the lives of two families, one where the parents are strict and disciplined, and the other where the parents are indulgent and permissive. The children in the first family grow up to be responsible and successful, while the children in the second family become selfish and entitled. The book argues that parents must be firm but loving in their discipline, and that they must teach their children the value of hard work and responsibility. The book is written in a simple and accessible style, and is intended to be a practical guide for parents who want to raise happy and successful children.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
