Description

What is it about four-year-olds that makes them so lovable? What problems do four-year-olds have? What can they do now that they couldn't do at three? Drs. Ames and Ilg, recognized authories on child behavior and development, discuss these and scores of other questions unique to four-year-old girls and boys, and they offer parents practical advice and enlightening psychological insights.


From the Back Cover

"I think (these books) are delightful and likely to capture the imagination of young parents, enough to help them through these years.... I think the books will be both a pleasure and support for many parents." -T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., Author of Toddlers and parents and Infants and Mothers

"The valuable lesson that parents learn from these books is that there is a timetable in each child that unfolds in his body at his own speed... These are cheerful, opimistic books. They are well sprinkled with parents' question which allow the reader to relate to other in the same spot... I agree with just about everything they say." -Lendon Smith, M.D., author of Feed Your Kids Right
