5.0 out of 5 stars Full time Dad praises Lukken's book, September 8, 1999

As a recently divorced man with full time custody of three preschoolers, I was desparate for information about making sure my kids would succeed in school. A friend at work suggested this book and it has been a great help to me. Basically, I learned to trust my instincts, and just knowing where to look for answers was a great relief. The author did a good job of covering all the bases. (This is a good book to have on the shelf for reference of the stages of childhood, what's normal, what's not.)

I'm a new mother with a law degree. Needless to say, I don't know much about early childhood development. I was concerned about what was "normal" for pre-school children and what was expected of them before they entered the classroom. This book was amazing! It covered every possible question I could have thought of, as well as a few handy tips for discipline. I find myself refering to it constantly, and feel much more confident about my child's readiness and social skills. This book is a MUST for anyone with pre-school children.
