Getting from kindergarten to puberty means acquiring the ability to see someone else's point of view - even when you'd rather not. It means leaving behind silliness for jokes, and jokes for wit and humor. It means growing from wanting to be Good in the eyes of parents, to wanting to be Right in the eyes of others, to wanting to be Just in your own eyes. Most of all, it means developing self-awareness and an inner life.
Parents need to do as much growing as Kids do during these years. This can be tricky, because Kids have a habit of entering a new stage without announcing that they're about to do so. Keeping a step ahead - or even just a half-step behind - can be a challenge. But it's well worth it, because these years set the stage for how Kids and parents will get along during adolescence. No wonder parents often wish someone would point the way.
The Portable Pediatrician's Guide to Kids does just that. Each chapter, covering a specific period (Five and Six, Seven and Eight, and Nine to Twelve), looks at how Kids change during that time - in how they relate to parents, think about themselves, decide moral issues, and succumb to (or resist) the temptations particular to that age. Each chapter also covers school, sports and exercise, growth, nutrition, health, illness, behavior problems, and dealing with life stresses. Most of all, each chapter clues parents in on their own changing roles.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
