Is This a Phase?: Child Development and Parent Strategies, Birth to 6 Years Book

This book had some facinating bits about child development and the various stges children go through, but it could seriously make you paranoid because with all it's focus on attachment it made me wonder how the author believes anyone who is adopted or goes through grief or a less tahn perfect upbringing goes on to become a ethical individual. Instead of being reassuring, which I had expected I thought the book gave too much info- it actually reminded me of What To Expect When You're Expecting in that way where it was just too much and could lead to too much worry. I did enjoy the inclusion of interesting facts about different child rearing styles from different cultures around the globe.
