Kibbutz Members Study Kibbutz Children: The Kibbutz Study Series

This collection of empirical studies focuses on the child-rearing and educational practices of the Kibbutz. Rather than examining the system from the outside, the work presents an inside view by offering essays written almost entirely by Kibbutz members. The 15 articles are grouped under four general headings: early childhood and motherhood; transition from communal to family sleeping; elementary school children; and adolescence.

A fifth section contains studies that fall outside of these categories. Each article features an introduction with comments, and the book concludes with a bibliography, name index, and subject index.
