Customer Reviews

a great series of books
I love this series of books. The book is small but full of insight and thoughtful,helpful examples of somewhat common situations with a 3 year old. What I really like about all of these books (understanding your 1 yr old,...2 yr old...) is that there is a great deal of respect given to the child as well as the parent, which somehow strikes me as different from many other books for parenting. I hope that I can find all the proceeding years of books in this series as my son gets older. I would love to own a whole series someday. This would be a great gift for new parents, exp the 1 yr old edition.
