5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, helpful information., January 24, 1999

By	Elizabeth Pantley (Kirkland, WA USA) - See all my reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars General information on what to expect from a 5 year old, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

I enjoyed reading the book especially the sections on school readiness and how a 5 year old child's mind works. This is a good book for parents to read in light of the tendency to push children academically and socially before they are ready developmentally.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly helpful series of Books!, October 11, 2005

By	D. Guy (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This entire series of books in very insightful. It is very helpful as a parent to get the "heads up" that these books provide. The questions of "what is going with my kid?" and "when will it end?" are answered leaving you with the feeling that you actually know what you are doing!
