is it profitable to sell on Your Five Year Old Sunny and Serene

I've been reading these "X-Year-Old" books since my son was three and I found him to be in a particularly difficult phase of development. Now that he's five (and definitely "sunny") I simply enjoy the insight into the developmental milestones.Dr. Ames does a fantastic job of making parents feel comfortable and aware of the stage that their child is in.My only dislike of the book is the approach that children who are introverted need to be accepted, but still pushed to extrovert more. I am, myself, an introvert and quite satisfied with my approach to life so pushing my child unnecessarily seems silly. Secondly, there's still an emphasis on physical punishment under certain circumstances, which simply doesn't line up with my parenting style. That said, the book is still a useful guide to the amazing five-year-old.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. get this book!By MarciaWhy did I wait so long to actually read this book?My twins are nearly 5 and a half.These books are so reassuring - just get the book for your child's age - you won't be disappointed.E.g. Who knew? It's actually developmentally normal for 5 year olds to be a bit obsessed with violence in their imaginary play or storytelling :)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
