1642-1646 On Parental Duty & The Apprenticeship of Children, Illuminated Responsibility, Essential, Interconnected.
“Monday's child is fair in face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for its living;
And a child that's born on a Christmas day,
Is fair and wise, good and gay.”~ Anonymous; reported in Traditions, Legends, Superstitions, and Sketches of Devonshire (1838), by Anna E. K. S. Bray, vol. 2, pp. 287–88.
Here is an excellent piece authored by the Reverend Joseph S. Clark on How the Puritans Trained their Children. It adds additional context, colour & overall life to this time period & embellishes more detail on Puritan Parenting & Apprenticeship practices.
