This was a fascinating read, though most of the strategies are for kids that are at least in preschool, and most are really tailored for elementary to younger secondary ages. I have a toddler, so this guy will stay on my shelf for reference as my little gets older.
Related, this isn't a "how to" manual; it serves to give insight into the mental processes of children, and ways to help them develop emotional coping strategies. Truthfully, some of the things in here were good for me to think about myself!
While this isn't a long or particularly dense text, it's a little bit technical, and might not be very accessible for people with zero baseline understanding of psychology or child development. Since I'm also an educator, many of the concepts in here weren't new. Because it's more technical, this isn't one of those books you fly through, and you shouldn't. Take each chapter at a time, and give yourself time to digest it and maybe try out a few things.

Excellent book, I need to check it out again as I read it so fast, but it's very insightful into the minds of young children and how we think about them.
