Product Description
Who can understand the mind of a preschooler? You can! Know that above all else, a preschooler is a learner. His amazing powers of reasoning and discrimination are awakened through a world of play and imagination. Through home relationships, he learns about love, trust, comfort, and security; through friends he learns to measure himself against a world of peers; and through unconditional love, a child establishes his own unique selfhood. The growth period between ages three and five years is all about learning, and On Becoming Preschoolwise is all about helping parents create the right opportunities and best environment to optimize their child's learning potential.Now influencing over two million homes worldwide, trusted parenting authors Gary Ezzo and Dr. Robert Bucknam once again bring their collective wisdom, experience, and insight to bear on this critical phase of preschool training. From teaching about the importance of play to learning how to prepare a preschooler for the first day of school, from organizing your child's week to understanding childhood fears and calming parental anxiety, sound advice and practical application await the reader. You will find this resource as practical as it is informative, curative as much as it is encouraging.

Book that Helps Parents Take Control of Preschoolers Education October 27, 2008
Always a fan of the "On Becoming..." series, I had to get the preschool book as my oldest daughter moves into this phase of her life. I have found it to be very helpful as I make decisions for the next few years of her life. The authors of this book help to pinpoint some of the reasons why preschoolers behave the way they do, one in particular being that children this age are often given too many choices to make. When it comes time for them to do something they do not want to do, they have difficulty obeying because they have had choices over everything else, why not in this matter? I highly recommend this book to any parent, but especially to those who desire to make Godly decisions.

Another Babywise Book November 17, 2007
I enjoyed this book as I have the previous Babywise books. It makes a lot of good points but in my personal opinion it is a little crazy on the structure.

The Ezzo parenting style is wonderful! It helps plan a child's path with love and understanding as well as with disciplne and enforcement - something that is so rare anymore, but essential and vital to raising responsible children!

Great Series!! November 5, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

The On Becoming Baby Wise series is fantastic. I would recommend them to parents and parents to be. They helped tremendously with our toddler's sleeping habits. We have been following the parent directed feeding method with our newborn and I can see the benefits in just her first four months of life. I want to buy these books for everyone I know who is a parent. I can't thank my neighbors who bought these books for us enough.

LIFE SAVER for 1st Time Mother August 7, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful

I started reading this book when my son was 10 weeks.At that time, he was waking up every four hours to eat, he cried anywhere from 1 to 4 hours a day for unknown reasons, and I was exhausted. Two days after I put him on a schedule suggested in this book, he started sleeping the entire night and no more unexplained crying. As a matter of fact, family and friends comment on his happy nature. Because I am a first time mother, I didn't know how many hours he should be sleeping or awake. Before reading this book, I didn't realize that he was exhausted and this was the reason for the crying. Once he started napping about 5 to 6 hours during the day, then he began sleeping all night. Sleep begets sleep!
