"Hints on Child-training" by Henry Clay Trumbull can be considered one of the first popular parenting handbooks. Published in the late 19th century, the book aims to teach parents and soon-to-be parents how to properly raise their children to later be functioning and productive members of society. Though many of the pieces of parenting advice in the book are now woefully outdated, being able to read and compare past norms to current ones is still well worth a read.

Autorenporträt
Henry Clay Trumbull (1830–1903) was a significant figure in the world of nineteenth-century American literature, with a particular focus on Christian education and religious studies. One of his most influential works is 'Hints on Child-training' published in 1890, which reflected his deep understanding and pioneering beliefs in the realm of child development and education. In this seminal book, Trumbull emphasized the importance of consistent discipline, the power of example, and the need for cultivating a child's individuality. His approach to child-rearing was revolutionary for its time, advocating for a compassionate yet structured methodology. Trumbull's style integrates practical wisdom with a moralistic and often religious tone, embodying the Victorian ethos. This book, along with his others, demonstrates a consistent focus on ethical instruction and character building, not just in children but across all stages of life. Trumbull's contributions extend beyond child training; he was also known for his works on Sunday school teaching and personal piety, which include titles like 'Teaching and Teachers' and 'Prayer: Its Nature and Scope.' His literary corpus has left an indelible mark on religious education and continues to be referenced in discussions of early childhood pedagogy.
