That was 34 years ago. Bought this for him and my daughter in law for their 6 and 5 year old boys. Doesn't fix anything, but sure helps to know they are normal. ☺️ Review: Well worth the read - I've never been one to consult so-called "parenting books" and this is not one of those, per se. As my daughter neared the age of 6, I found her behaviors to be increasingly vexing and our relationship started to deteriorate rapidly. I felt like I didn't know her anymore, as I did not understand the causes or motivations behind her most frustrating actions (or inactions). This book is slightly outdated (the section on discouraging boys and girls from playing together was particularly useless in my opinion), but offers up marvelous insight into why six-year-olds can literally love you to pieces one minute and hate your guts the next. A lot of time is devoted to exploring the six-year-old's relationship with his or her mother, which is helpful to me, of course. Not much help for dads here, as they're pretty much written off as not being around enough to help out with the children. LOL! I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking to gain some insight into the self-centered world of the six-year-old - it really was worth the read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #106,673 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #135 in Parenting Boys #178 in Parenting Girls #574 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (304) | | Dimensions | 5.2 x 0.31 x 7.91 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0440506743 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0440506744 | | Item Weight | 4.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | April 15, 1981 | | Publisher | Dell | ## Images ![Your Six-Year-Old: Loving and Defiant - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81bXh4oDGGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still helpful to understand this age *by J***Y on September 30, 2025* Reading the first page, thought they wrote this about our son!

I look to these to find out if what I notice going on with my child is, indeed, a (usually novel) age-related behavior/thought pattern, etc. and they have been very helpful for this. If you just page thru them, you may think they are a bit dated (the pics especially) but I see this as a good thing. The writers aren't writing from the perspective of the latest fad or "discovery" in studies of children, or just a book of pretty pictures, but are giving information based on years of observation of what children do at different stages. This is why it's useful to me--it's classic, easy-to-read, useful information that usually reassures me that my child is in the same stage of development that many others have passed through, and gives helpful advice for working with your child and easing conflicts. I appreciate that the "techniques" section is not just behavior modification techniques for immediate results (time outs, counting to ten, losing a toy temporarily, etc) but ideas to work WITH your child and understand their motivations. A great addition to your parenting library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9389820-your-six-year-old-loving-and-defiant](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/9389820-your-six-year-old-loving-and-defiant) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
