About this ebook
A Treatise on Parents and Children is an intellectually bold and socially provocative work by George Bernard Shaw, one of the most influential playwrights and thinkers of the modern era. In this incisive and unorthodox commentary, Shaw uses his signature wit, satire, and critical insight to challenge traditional views of parenthood, education, childhood, and the moral treatment of children. Rather than taking a sentimental view of the family, Shaw casts a deeply rational and reformist eye on how children are raised and how society treats them—not as individuals with rights and intelligence, but as property, subjects of control, or worse, as burdens. He exposes the many hypocrisies and failures in parenting, schools, and state institutions, highlighting the psychological and social harm caused by ignorance, coercion, and moral posturing.
