Your Child

Your Child is one of the best books I have ever picked up to read! My toddler and I were experiencing some difficulties at home, which is why I purchased the book. After reading this wonderful map through childhood, I believe we are both going to be just fine. It gives hope to parents that we really are doing a good job at raising our kids in todays world. And if we aren't, it gives great advise on how to seek help. This isn't your typical "self-help" book!

best book on raising children that I have read so far

Your Child, provides the parent with a comprehensive guide on raising child.

A terrific book!

I was very impressed by this book, and found its focus on child development fascinating. I was especially pleased to see this book avoid the trap of preaching to caregivers or espousing any specific how-to gimmicks. Instead, this book offers reasonable advice and a somewhat relaxed take on parenting, which I find quite welcome.

A terrific book that covers all the bases.

I HIGHLY recommend this book. As a parent of three grown children and a new grandmother, I certainly thought I had read everything on this subject-- I practically raised my kids with my Dr. Spock in hand. But I decided to buy this new book for my daughter because it covers more than just runny noses and fevers. It's the only book I've found that gets you right inside your kids' heads and shows you what they're thinking about, and why they do what they do, at every age. Wish it had come out when my kids were young.
