Looking for a Good Book on Child Development

Have to ditto the Louise Bates Ames,Ph.D books. Just got done with Your Four Year Old- Friend or Enemy. They were written a long time ago but it is amazing how they still have the same characteristics in behavior over the years. Definitely an interesting read.

Another book that I liked - Einsten Never Used Flash Cards has helped me along the way when the 'pressure' of preschool and academics seems to over take your life. Great information on statisics from Japan, etc. and how the creativity, imagination part is such a crucial role vs. academics at an early age.

Hey A.,
There are a series of book written by Louise Bates Ames,Ph.D. and Frances L ILG, M.D. The titles of the books are One-Year-Old, Two-Year-Old and so on. I have a Degree in Child Development and they are wonderful books. Anything written by T. Berry Brazelton, M.D. you can't go wrong with.
Hope this helps,
L.

Hi, A. -

I enjoyed reading the "What To Expect..." series by Heidi Murkoff, Sandee Hathaway, and Arlene Eisenberg (What to Expect the First Year, for example).

Also, here is a good webiste to look at:
