Beyond Toddlerdom: Keeping Five- To Twelve-Year-Olds on the Rails Book Description
Parents of school‑age children often feel uncertain about the next stage of development. Beyond Toddlerdom: Keeping Five- To Twelve-Year-Olds on the Rails offers calm, practical advice for this critical age range. Christopher Green draws on his long career as a paediatrician, a father, and a grandfather to help you understand the physical, emotional, and social changes your child will face between five and twelve years old.
The book explains how children become aware of the world beyond the home, start school, form friendships, and explore hobbies. It also covers tough topics such as moving house, coping with parental divorce, and developing lasting personality patterns. By breaking each issue into clear, bite‑size sections, Green makes it easy to apply his guidance to everyday life.
