230) Unlike some of today’s commentators who look back to the “good old days” through rose‐tinted spectacles, Holt had an optimistic vision of the future and clear‐cut proposals for achieving it, and this may be one reason for his success in influencing parents. His vision was of a society increasingly constructed along professional and managerial lines; his solution to the difficulties families were experiencing was for middle class motherhood to become a vocation featuring professional management as well as maternal nurture.
The only judgment common to all was one which clearly echoed the conference of 1897: mothers were incompetent, often frivolous and always inconsistent; parenting was in crisis and. children were out of control. The next notably successful “parent expert” – and the first with a real claim to basing his recommendations to parents on scientific findings – was Arnold Gesell. Gesell had taken an active part in the 1925 conference, and had furthered the called‐for move to a more psychological approach to child study by coining the term “personality” to replace “nature”, but he neither criticized nor exhorted parents.
