The six-year-old is a complex child, entirely different from the five-year-old. Though many of the changes are for the good -- Six is growing more mature, more independent, more daring and adventurous -- this is not necessarily an easy time for the little girl or boy. Relationships with mothers are troubled -- most of the time Six adores mother, but whenever things go wrong, it's her fault. It used to be, at Five, that she was the center of the child's universe; now, the child is the center of his own universe.
Parents need the expert advice of Drs. Ames and Ilg during this difficult year, to explain parent-child relations, friendships with peers, what six-year-olds excel at, how they see the world, what it feels like to be entering the first grade. Children need patience and understanding to help make this transition easier.

Summary: Simple
Comment: Please excuse grammar and speling. Not ny speciality. I hate details. I really enjoyed this book because I read it in one sitting. I did get insight into what is "typical" behaviour for a girl 6.5 years old. One example, paraphrased,'kid at this age tend to worry that sonmething bad will happen to one of their parents'. This explains why my daughter started becoming so upset when I would go out. It seemed to come on suddenly leaving me woindering what I had done wrong. Turns out it was not anything I did. I was able to share with her what I read and explain that her feelings are "normal" for her age. If I had not read this I would have wasted time asking her what was wrong with her or looking to blame my wife or me, creating a ure future neurosis of som e kind. My daughter has relaxed since I was able to explain that this is "normal" for some kids her age. My daughter is high maintenance (super sensitive, perfectionist, hyper emotional...). I was worried she was going to get "labeled" because of this, so I started seeking information. This was a good start, but this is not a comprehensive look at the psychology of children. I have had to look at other books, but this is a nice quick insight into a kids inner world. I also highly recomend "When Labels Don't Fit" by Brbra Probst if you're looking for deeper pshycological analysis.

Summary: A bit outdated
Comment: Some aspects of this book are helpful. For example, the information about what to expect developmentally from the six year old. But some aspects are dated. Also, the authors suggest to ignore a bit more than I am comfortable with in terms of bad behavior.

Summary: Review of book on six-year old children
Comment: This book is helpful, in that it assisted my husband in better understanding that all of the crazy things our daughter does are perfectly normal for a child her age. It is also a cute book because I believe it was written in the 1960's or 1970's, so there are very dated wordings. Overall, a good, light-hearted book that celebrates children in all of their unique ways!

Summary: Therapy for the Mom of a Six-Year Old
Comment: "It's just a phase," characterizes most of childhood, but some phases are harder than others. And that's where I found myself with my six-year-old. Overnight she became whiny, clingy, and defiant one minute and her normal good-natured self the next.
Reading this book gave me great insight into her behavior and reassured me that this phase too will pass.
