This book was recommended by my pediatrician almost 29 years ago. So glad it is available as that child is now a dad. It does not tell you "the best way to rear your child", like all the others do, thank goodness! It is a fabulous book that explains the normal behaviors at different ages and explains all aspects of child behavior whether it be sleeping, potty training, fears or dealing with new siblings. This is the best there is for any parent.

I must admit when I started reading this book I was impressed at just how accurate some of the information was. I was a bit dissappointed with a couple of chapters but overall not bad. Please keep in mind the most current reference this book has is dated 1980. Much of the language is directly out of the 1950's. Just the sentence structure and terms for wet and dirty diapers for instance. Its time for this book to be updated with newer books for parents to turn to.

The book arrived quickly and in good condition. Just what I want from a bookseller.

This book is a bit disappointing. It reads like a horoscope and lacks substance, findings from research, stories about actual children and useful advice.

This book is the best of its kind, and the only one that sums up the stages of development. Thanks goodness it is back in print. There are a few slightly dated bits, but most of the work by Ilg and Ames is timeless. You MUST have this book while raising your children, if only to be aware of the alternating inner and outer periods of disequilbrium and how they manifest. This book helps you keep being the grownup, because it gives you such a good overview of child development.
