Book Reviews of Your Seven-Year-Old: Life in a Minor Key
Book Review: Is it a crisis or just a stage?
Summary: 4 Stars
My happy friendly confident son, 7, has been moody, emotional and depressed for the last few months. Was it a stage or was there something serious going on at school? Everyone was against him, he has no friends, people laugh at him....Thank god for this book. I started laughing as soon as I read the first page...it fit my son's new behavior perfectly. These books are not parenting books telling you how to be a good parent. Rather, they are describing the child and how they develop and what is going on in their minds. This helps you, as parent, to decide how to handle things, to know if there is a serious problem or just a stage to get through and outgrow. I have already bought the 8 year old book, so that I am ready for the next stage, and I am going to buy the 5 year old book, so that I make sure I am not missing anything with my younger son. This book is just what I needed!Book Review: Good advice!
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this book b/c all of a sudden my 7 year old boy was acting different, weird even. I needed some advice on what to expect. After all, he was my first. It had some good advice on how seven year olds act and how to respond.Book Review: Problem solving outdated
Summary: 3 Stars
These books have helped me understand what my children have been going through at various stages/ages of their development. This book was on target with my daughter's behavior/temperment. However, I found the problem solving answers to be extrememely outdated. The authors suggested that a particular seven yr old who disliked school could either change to a private school, stay back in first grade or shorten the school day. What were they thinking? No suggestions were given as to how to talk to the child or work with the teachers,school or family doctor. I thought I would get some advice for a similar problem, not this time. In general I found this book helpful but think it needs to be updated, possibly each decade.Book Review: Too general
Summary: 2 Stars
Was looking for more specifics on what they should and shouldn't be doing at this age so I can see where mine are fine and where they need to catch up. Language is very flowerly and very general, with not a lot of substance or specifics. Just my view.
