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 mother 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 partience and understanding to help make this age of transition easier. 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 and the late Frances L. Ilg, M.D., are the authors of many books on child care. Their series, which includes Your One-Yea-Old through Your Ten-to Fourteen-Year-Old, is available in Delta editions.
