Summary: Compassion
Comment: Finally! A book that helped me understand the turmoil my three year old is living with. I instantly became more compassioante and accepting of my little sprite. I hope more parents will read this book to learn about the challenges their growing preschooler faces and will learn compassion, discipline through gentle teaching, how to become life long mentors and support for their children.

Summary: What a bunch of hogwash!
Comment: So many of my friends have read this series and enjoyed them. I finally purchased the three year old book and I was appalled at what it said. It is very obvious that it is 20 years old and that the recommendations are extremely out of date. It has been proven over and over and over that it is beneficial for a child to be with his parents vs daycare or babysitters yet this book repeatedly says "put the kid with someone else." Recommends it as a part of everyday life. It also only mentions Dad as someone who isn't involved with child rearing with the exception of lecturing over table manners and being upset over lack of potty training.
SEVERELY OUT OF DATE and I wouldn't recommend it to a single person. I didn't even find its developmental stages to be true. They certainly aren't true of my two children, nor did I recognize any of the three years I teach in Sunday School.
BOSH and HOGWASH. Seems to be more dependent upon clinical studies vs real life children.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. I am certainly very glad I didn't read this prior to having children or prior to my kids being in these ages. I would have hated to expect them to behave in the abnormal ways mentioned in this dangerous book. I tried to give it a ZERO stars rating, but the system won't let me. I'd give it NEGATIVE stars if possible.

Summary: Not very helpful
Comment: I found this book to be completely lacking in much practical information. I was hoping for some insight into why my 3 year old acts the way she does, and some practical solutions for dealing with it, but I didn't find that. What I found was something like "some three year olds are like this, and some are like that and others are like something else entirely." That much I could have figured out on my own. Even less helpful was the section on "equilibrium". Three year olds are wonderful, but when they're three and a half, look out. But then again, not all three year olds hit these "equilibrium" points at the same time... or at all. Just not a helpful book. Don't bother.
