Your Three-Year-Old: Friend or Enemy por Louise Bates Ames

It's hard to give a star rating for this, because it's so outdated in some ways (1976 publication date). Some of the research holds up, and I found her examination of the marked differences between 3 and 3 1/2 really interesting. However, some of it is useless. It amazes me how much thoughts have changed on potty training in just one generation. Now it's pretty common to have 3 year olds still in diapers, while back then it was practically unheard of from what I can tell.

Your Nine Year Old: Thoughtful and Mysterious por Louise Bates Ames

This book answered a couple questions I had about my 9 y.o.'s development, but copyright is 1987 and 1990 which made much of the book seem so dated as to not apply. Looking through the bibliography of the book most of the references were from the mid eighties. I like the idea of the whole series though which has a book assigned to each year of development and wish someone would update it for today's parent.

Your Five-Year-Old: Sunny and Serene por Louise Bates Ames

With the usual caveats that every child is an individual, the authors identify typical developmental behavior for Fives: a good grasp of their own capabilities, and a desire to stay close to home, especially to parents. Less wild and adventuresome than Fours, sometimes even "angelic" or "too good to be true," so "enjoy it!"

The "Your #-Year-Old" series, despite being full of outdated attitudes (especially toward gender, and spanking) is still worthwhile for its guidance on child development.

In addition to the usual "Equilibrium/Disequilibrium" chart (p. 10), this book contains a "Withdrawal/Expansion" chart, showing "withdrawal" at ages 3 1/2, 5, and 7 years (p. 81)

Quotes

If school attendance causes home behavior to go to pieces, something is wrong. (66)

Nobody likes to be told "I hate you," but when it is said by the very young child it usually means little more than "I'm unhappy, sad, mixed up, tired, frustrated, and I'm going to take it out on anybody or everybody in sight."
As a rule it does not mean "I have thought things over carefully and I really do hate you." (106)… (más)
