About this title: 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 ...

"What a relief to read this and know we're not alone in dealing with a completely vexing six year old! The authors are right on the money --and most of it rings true even though the book was written a number of years ago. I highly recommend it for parents of 6 year olds and parents of 5 year olds (so you know what's coming). The book is logical, sincere, *not* preachy and very often funny. A quick read, too (which is great because parents of 6 year olds don't have much time or energy for reading long, tedious tomes on child rearing.) Read it! You won't regret it."
"This is a helpful - if a bit outdated - summary of what one can expect from a "typical" six-year-old. The author repeats numerous times that each child is an individual and therefore what is considered "normal" is actually an average of a certain number of children of the same age and cannot be held as a standard that each child must meet or somehow be found wanting.
The biggest help to me, personally, was the description of how many six-year-olds experience mercurial mood swings that can be very hard for the parents to keep up with and cope. Likewise, the discussion of how this age is a very strong age of self-individuation from the mother and how difficult that can be for both child and mother was very helpful to me."
"For a long time, I felt my oldest was going through was I called cycles, periods of ups followed by a crashing period of downs. Both would last for months. I could see the down cycle coming, but was powerless to do anything about it. A great teacher at my daughter's preschool recommended this series of books. They could do with a lot of updating, but in basics, the pattern of a child's development really hasn't changed since when these books were published. I'm only a few pages in and I've already had several Eureka moments, so that's what was going on, etc. Now I'm trying to get ahead of the game before my oldest turns 6. Of course, you can't change the course of their development, but it's so nice to know what may be coming up next."
