“The Normal School Child” by R.S. Illingworth, published in 1964 by William Heinemann Medical Books, is a guide for parents, teachers, and pediatricians on the common physical and emotional problems of school-aged children. The book covers topics such as environment after birth, common behavioral issues like bed-wetting, sleep problems, and jealousy, and the importance of early learning.

Ronald Stanley Illingworth (7 October 1909 in Harrogate – 4 June 1990 in Bergen, Norway) was a British born Yorkshireman and a paediatrician of renown. He was also a prolific writer, who wrote some 600 articles and at least 21 books, which were exceedingly popular and sold in large quantities. Illingworth was principally known for being largely responsible for introducing the science and practice of paediatrics to the UK in the early to mid-1940s.
