Summary
We've been over-run with child-rearing manuals for infants. We've been swamped with advice for relating to teens. But little has been offered to parents whose children are in middle childhood!
John. M. Drescher, a wise voice in the field of parenting literature (whose books have sold more than 400,000 copies), addresses particular delights and difficulties of this stage in a child's life. Chapters include:
Holding your child Reading to your child The need for encouragement The smart age The need to belong The age of imitation The power of example Model, Don't Order The place for praise Let children be children And more
All parents need help, and this small, smart, thoughtful handbook will give it to you, just when your boy or girl reaches a new stage of life.
