Understanding Your 8 Year-Old (Understanding Your Child - The Tavistock Clinic Series)

Rating:
Summary: Not particularly insightful.
Review: This book and this series is not to be mistaken for the highly acclaimed series of similar title, Your Eight-Year-Old, by Louise Bates Ames. This is 62 fairly thin pages filled with not particularly helpful insights such as "Lots of girls now play soccer" from a British author. While it may have relevance to the UK, the understanding and advice does not seem current to anything in the US. Read Bates instead.

Rating:
Summary: Don't bother
Review: This extremely slim volume offers nothing but generalizations. Yes, we know 8 year olds are moody but I wanted a book that might give me some insight as to WHY and WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. Not here. There are many other good books, like the Louise Bates Ames series that truly do give you insight.
