Cover blurb: Children don’t come with an instruction manual, but this book is about as close as you can get. Written by a group of wise early-childhood development experts, it’s an easy-to-read behavioral guide to what’s going on in your young child’s mind in almost any situation – from public tantrums to noticing people with disabilities to preparing for the first day of preschool. Whether you read it cover to cover, or reach for it when the going gets tough, it will help bring out that loving, nurturing, patient and resourceful parent that lives in all of us.

The Grandmothers are Early Childhood Consultants with long-standing connections with Hanna Perkins Center. Collectively, they have decades of experience and have helped several thousand children lead happier lives. They are (l to r): Maria Kaiser, M. Ed; Ginny Steininger, M. Ed; Georgianna (Gann) Roberts, M. Ed.; Kathy Smith Baker, M. Ed.; and Barbara Streeter, Hanna Perkins Education Director and project consultant.
