Books for Parents of Children from 3 to 6 Years
NOTE: There are some books that seem to fit into more than one category on the right and may be listed more than once. Also, because children do not all move from one stage to another at the same age, look at the books for Stage Three and Stage Five as well as these for toddlers.

This site highly recommends this book. In it the authors offer their findings from research on adults who were overindulged as children and who today don’t know what is not enough, enough, or too much. The authors clarify the definition of overindulgence, and break it into 3 kinds: over-nurturing, giving too much, and too little structure. Advice, stories and strategies help the parent avoid overindulgence or repair the damage caused by overindulgence.
