Product Description
The six-year-old is a complex child, entirely different from the five-year-old. Though many of the changes are for the good -- Six is growing more mature, more independent, more daring and adventurous -- this is not necessarily an easy time for the little girl or boy. Relationships with mothers are troubled -- most of the time Six adores mother, but whenever things go wrong, it's her fault. It used to be, at Five, that she was the center of the child's universe; now, the child is the center of his own universe.
Parents need the expert advice of Drs. Ames and Ilg during this difficult year, to explain parent-child relations, friendships with peers, what six-year-olds excel at, how they see the world, what it feels like to be entering the first grade. Children need patience and understanding to help make this transition easier.

 Great purchase. Super quick delivery. Perfect condition., 2008-06-22
This seller was refreshingly terrific to do business with. The order came so quickly and even though it was considered used when purchased, it is in perfect condition. Buying with this seller restored my faith in my amazon purchases. Highly recommended seller.

 A bit outdated, 2008-06-18
Some aspects of this book are helpful. For example, the information about what to expect developmentally from the six year old. But some aspects are dated. Also, the authors suggest to ignore a bit more than I am comfortable with in terms of bad behavior.

 Review of book on six-year old children, 2008-06-06
This book is helpful, in that it assisted my husband in better understanding that all of the crazy things our daughter does are perfectly normal for a child her age. It is also a cute book because I believe it was written in the 1960's or 1970's, so there are very dated wordings. Overall, a good, light-hearted book that celebrates children in all of their unique ways!

Therapy for the Mom of a Six-Year Old, 2008-06-02
"It's just a phase," characterizes most of childhood, but some phases are harder than others. And that's where I found myself with my six-year-old. Overnight she became whiny, clingy, and defiant one minute and her normal good-natured self the next.
Reading this book gave me great insight into her behavior and reassured me that this phase too will pass.

Your Six Year Old, Loving and Defiant, 2007-11-17
This book and the others in the series are a must have for any parent. The author provides realistic, helpful insights into who children are at each stage and what they need to be successful. Understanding why children behave the ways they do make it much easier to face any negative behaviors with a smile and a hug.
