Well, I thought that I would not have much in the way of book recommendations, however, I was thumbing through books and articles the other day, preparing for a workshop, when I came across one of my favorite books on child development, written for parents. The book is titled, The Emotional Life of the Toddler, written by Alicia Lieberman, a wonderful child psychologist who works in the San Francisco Bay Area. I want to let people know about the book because it is one of those rare books that talks about children and the struggles they go through with insight, humor and a great deal of understanding of both children and their parents! This book truly does provide a window into the very complex, often turbulent “emotional life” of our young 2 and 3 year olds. While other books focus on the cognitive or physical development of young children, this book remains committed to helping parents and professionals understand the intense and intricate workings of the toddler’s emotional life. If you have young children, or know someone who does, this book is a valuable resource and an enlightening, and oftentimes humorous, read.
