Those First Six Years: Helping Your Child to Thrive

Here is a marvelous guide for tracking emotional, social, and behavioral development in the first six years of a child's life. Comprehensive but brief and to the point, it also makes the case for a positive approach to discipline: promote development and forget about punishment. Run your family like a family, not a prison.
It also provides a summary of the most common parental concerns: how to know if your child has a serious problem and a guide about what to do if the worry comes true. The busy parent does not have time to research all about child development, but if there were just one easy to read book that covered the landscape in practical down to earth words, this is it!
