The Early School Years, 6 to 8 : Steps and Stages

By Holly Bennett and Teresa Pitman

The Early School Years (age 6-8)looks at the particular challenges and joys of life with a child whose physical, cognitive and social skills are becoming increasingly sophisticated. For some kids these are "easy" years, yet a lot is going on under the surface. Issues addressed include living with your six- to eight-year-old (helping kids communicate; chores and allowances; instilling responsibility; encouraging independence), your child in the widening world of school and friends; growing pains (school trouble; lying and cheating; tantrums); and the continuing value and kinds of play. The Steps and Stages series blends expert advice and parental experience to tackle the typical - but by no means simple - challenges and milestones you and your child will face at each stage of development. Chock full of anecdotes, tips and resources, these unique books address the everyday, practical issues of raising kides - issues that all parents wonder about, but few parenting guides discuss.
