The book was in great condition. The only issue was it looked like the print from the next page embedded into the back of the page before. Some pages hard to read

Extremely Basic - probably more useful for teachers than parents

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I was hoping for a text that would be an accessible/non-academic guide to child development to help me understand if my expectations for my child are age-appropriate. Something like Piaget (or whoever is the modern day equivalent) For Dummies. I wanted information on what to expect in terms of emotional regulation, behavior, independence levels, empathy, and more abstract concepts like being able to accurately gauge the passage of time (e.g. when I say "we need to leave in five minutes" is that something a six year old can reasonably comprehend? a ten year old?).

What I got was on par with the kind of informational brochure you'd get from a pediatricians office. Each age has a 10-ish page chapter, most of which is made up of bullet points, with wide margins, and a big font, plus pictures. The last several pages of each chapter are specifically geared towards what sort of things they should be doing in each school subject. I knew that this book was more geared towards teachers, but I assumed that I would be able to glean relevant info as a parent, since I feel like a lot of teachers I know had to take child development classes as part of their schooling and thought maybe some of those concepts would be included.

It is somewhat handy to read "ahead" so to speak, so I will give it that. If you have a six year old and you're reading the ten year old chapter thinking "this is what I thought it'd be like right now!" then maybe that's a clue that your expectations are unreasonable. But overall this was unfortunately not what I was hoping for as a parent. It's probably great for teachers, though!

ESSENTIAL FOR: Parents Teachers Caregivers

If you are a parent, teacher or interact with children in any capacity, you will appreciate this easy to read and understand book. Understanding the specific needs of children during different stages of cognitive, physical and social/emotional development is critical for effective relationships with children.
My wife and I are teachers. We have not only bought every edition of this valuable book over the years, we have gifted it to countless other teachers and parents as well.
Although we have many, many "teacher books" this is the ONLY book I keep handy for frequent referencing.

Quick read primer for childhood development

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a pretty basic book for understanding learning benchmarks for students. I used it to develop personas for my company, and was able to paint a pretty vivid picture of the diverse experiences students have from grade to grade. I'm curious how many students made up the sample for each grade as there seemed to be a lot of generalizations and the author described a strange yo-yo effect between 6 and 9 that seemed like it could have come from a small sample size. Overall, I trust that the author is smarter on this topic than I am and took the information in this book to heart. It's a great resource for quickly getting a cognitive development 101 crash course and I recommend it for parents and teachers.

Meh

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2023

Verified Purchase

I had high hopes, as this was recommended to me by a friend... But each age section has very basic and general information. I also found it interesting the pool of children these findings are based off of. The introduction of this book lead me to believe the information provided in this book is based on personal experiences and observations rather than studies. I will re-read this book and update my review if I'm incorrect, but that was my initial take away.
