Understanding your toddler

The book was well-written and easy to read. There were concrete examples of expectations during this age. Each section also had a short piece that was written from the child's perspective. I found this technique effective and it helped to further illuminate the issues that were being discussed. Overall, the book helped me to gain a better understanding of what my 3 1/2 son is experiencing at this stage in his life.

Quick read, very informative

This is a great book for the on the go parent. It is very easy to read (great for the treadmill). It gives you an idea what your 3-4 is feeling in a child's voice. I have suggested it to all my friends who wonder if their kid is "normal".

Practical Advice!

This is an easy to read, practical book for the parent of a 3-4 year old. It offers easy to read information without the drudgery of tons of reading. I think Parent Magazine is fabulous, having subscribed to it for many years myself. I'm so pleased to see that they are giving the best of what they have to offer in this book. As a behavior specialist and author of The Voucher System Behavior Management Program, I have spent a great deal of time and effort looking for a book that addresses the challenges and questions that often arise with a four year old. (Children are learning so much at age four and need a great deal of parent/child interaction. It's also the age where they learn that "no" really means "no".) This book is my choice for the best most concise book on children of this age. I highly recommend it! I also recommend the book that follows this one on the 5-6 year old.
