I am not sure that having raised three positive, loved and loving children is enough to make me an authority, but my experience leads me to agree with almost everything I read in this book. It is filled with simple explanations and sound advice for parents of young children.The book begins by explaining why the first five years are so important in raising a child, and then goes on to answer many of the tough questions that parents have when raising a child. Is it OK for my child to have an un-separable "Best Friend"? Isn't he too much influenced by his peers? Should I be my child's friend? and many other similar dilemmas. Each is analyzed and explained, so the suggested course of action is easy to accept.I especially resonated with the chapters about the importance of building memories and the one about teaching your child to think.If you know anyone who is a parent to young children - buy him/her this one as a present. They will thank you for it. If you are one - buy this book for yourself. You will thank me  :-)
