Emotionele Ontwikkeling van Drie- en Vierjarigen - Paperback

The section on hugging versus tugging on a playmate finally made sense of what I see at drop-off every morning. It's a thin paperback, so it fits in my bag for waiting rooms, and the examples are short enough to actually finish between things.

The chapters on hugging versus tugging on playmates gave me actual language to use with my four-year-old instead of just "be gentle." It's a thin paperback but the examples are concrete enough that I've already reread two sections.

The section on risk-taking versus seeking comfort finally explained why my four-year-old clings at drop-off some mornings, and the examples are short enough to read during nap time. I've already used the hugging and tugging playmate scenario to talk through sharing with him.
