Your Seven-Year-Old is devoted to the delightful but often anxious and withdrawn child of Seven. Although any seven-year-old will have moments of exuberance, security, and happiness, in general this is an age of introspection. As it begins, parents and teachers may welcome the quiet after the tussels and tangels of Six. But once the child of Seven starts to withdraw, it's almost as thought he doesn't know where or when to stop. Seven-year-olds feel picked on by family, friends, and teachers alike; they worry that no one likes them; they expect every little task to prove too difficult to handle; tears come easily at this age.
With wit and wisdom, Dr. Ames of the highly respected Gesell Institute and Carol Chase Haber offer insights into what children this age are feeling and thinking, and how parents can best deal with these moody, serious Sevens. Included in the book:
Louise Bates Ames, Ph.D., is associate director and co-founder of the Gesell Institute of Human Development in New Haven. She is recognized worldwide as a leading aurthority on the behavior and development of children. Carol Chase Haber and Dr. Ames have collaborated on several books in the Gesell Institute series, all of which are available in Delata editions.
