Product Description
The six-year-old is a complex child, entirelydifferent from the five-year-old. Though many of thechanges are for the good -- Six is growing moremature, more independent, more daring andadventurous -- this is not necessarily an easy time for thelittle girl or boy. Relationships with mothers aretroubled -- most of the time Six adores mother,but whenever things go wrong, it's her fault. Itused to be, at Five, that she was the center of thechild's universe; now, the child is the center ofhis own universe.
Parents need the expertadvice of Drs. Ames and Ilg during this difficultyear, to explain parent-child relations,friendships with peers, what six-year-olds excel at, howthey see the world, what it feels like to beentering the first grade. Children need patience andunderstanding to help make this transition easier.

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 A bit outdated June 18, 2008
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 June 6, 2008
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 June 2, 2008
"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 November 17, 2007
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.
