I don't know of one, but I think that I need one! It's funny that you mention this because we just went to a parent teacher conference last week, and Drew's teacher said that we could probably expect some behavioral (sp?) issues by 4 1/2. He has been such a sweet, well behaved little boy up until now (shameless brag), that at first I didn't want to believe it. But, now I'm definitely starting to see a little bit of attitude surfacing. We escaped terrible twos and threes, but I'm thinking that we might finally get our share soon, so I'll be checking back to this post for recommendations!

There's a whole series called "Your # Year Old", some by Ames and Ilg, some by Ames and somebody else. They're a bit dated these days, but the basics never change...

Yardsticks, by Chip Wood is geared a little more towards school stuff, but still really useful for parents.

I also like the Ames and Ilg books.
