Die New Yorker Star-Psychologin Tovah P. Klein entschlüsselt den Kleinkind-Code und zeigt, wie Eltern von 2- bis 5-jährigen Kindern diese in ein glückliches und erfülltes Leben begleiten können. Sie beschreibt die besonderen Entwicklungen im kindlichen Gehirn während dieser Jahre, die es Eltern ermöglichen, die Erlebenswelt ihrer Kinder besser zu verstehen und deren oft widersprüchliches Verhalten nachzuvollziehen. Mit diesem neuen Verständnis können Eltern angemessen reagieren und gemeinsam mit ihren Kindern glückliche Kleinkind- und Vorschuljahre erleben. Klein bietet konkrete Vorschläge, wie Eltern konstruktiv auf typische Herausforderungen reagieren können, sei es bei Stimmungsschwankungen, Wutausbrüchen, dem Setzen von Grenzen oder Ängsten. Sie unterstützt Eltern dabei, alltägliche Familienthemen zu lösen und gleichzeitig gelassen zu bleiben, um ihren Kindern gute Weggefährten in dieser besonderen Lebensphase zu sein. Stimmen zur Originalausgabe loben das Buch als wegweisend in der Erziehungsliteratur und betonen, wie wichtig es ist, Kindern die Möglichkeit zu geben, Probleme selbst zu lösen, anstatt ihnen alle Schwierigkeiten zu ersparen.
