When you know what behaviors are "normal" for your child's age you can relax, stop the worry, and focus on appropriate solutions. This whole series of books accurately defines the ages and stages of children. These books keep your expectations realistic and allow you to avoid anger caused by a lack of understanding of your child's developmental stages.

Reading this book has helped make nine very enjoyable. This series of books is great. Understanding the different stages takes out the frustration and makes watching and helping your childern grow and develop a JOY.

This book serves as a great tool for me in raising my nine year old twins! It provides a great assessment as to what I can expect from my children, and explains the reasoning for some of the issues that go on with their behavior. I wish more adults in the education profession and politics would use the information provided in this book in an effort to get a better perspective on what it's like to be nine. Particularly as we continue to hold our children more and more accountable for reaching such rigorous education standards.

Have been reading these books since my daughter has been 2 years old. Recommended by a psychologist friend. I find these books to be insightful and spot on. I usually read them when my daughter is at her half birthday so often the book confirms what I have seen and provides a very accurate account of what is to come. These books should be mandatory for all parents of young children. If you can better understand why your child is acting a certain way, it helps you handle the situation especially when a child is in toddler stages. These books have been around a very long time yet the content is totally relevant. Highly recommend.

Love this series of books. I read them when my daughter was growing up. She is now 26 years old. They still work and accurately predict what your child will go thru growing up. Highly recommend!

I recommend these books (Your ONE Year Old, Your TWO Year Old, Your THREE Year Old, Your FOUR Year Old, Your FIVE Year Old, Your SIX Year Old, Your SEVEN Year Old, Your EIGHT Year Old, Your NINE Year Old, Your TEN-to-FOURTEEN Year Old. These books were writtten by Louise Bates Ames, PhD, Fances L. Ilg, MD and Sidney M. Baker MD of the Gesell Institute of Human Development. They are NOT a "how to" book for parents -- but rather provide a perspective of life from the child's various ages. I found the books to be of such value that I purchase the entire series for new parents. Somehow I forgot to purchase these books for my niece when she started her family. She expressed some concerns about her seven year old son's behavior (that I knew from experience to be that typical of seven year olds). I purchased the books from the series that will help my niece from here on. She LOVES them! I have a feeling she will use them and pass them along to other parents. My original set are part of my permanent library. I highly recommend these books for your permanent library as well!

This "used" book was listed as in "good" condition...it is not..
The covers are creased (very much in the back) and just about every other paragraph up to page 29 is highlighted in pink..
i am very disapointed with the quality of item from this seller.
