Synopsis

UNLOCK YOUR TODDLER'S LOVE OF LEARNING NOW!

Moms of toddlers run a marathon every day just keeping up with them. But there's still time to encourage their natural love of learning! The secret is turning everyday experiences into learning opportunities. As a professional teacher, home schooling mom, and mother of eleven, Barbara Curtis has a generation of experience in teaching toddlers. Now she shares her unique perspective - and her secrets - with you.

While playing, doodling, and just being a kid, your children can also be practicing muscle control, concentration, orderliness, and other basics that will help them later on. Barbara's insights will inspire you. And her time - saving techniques will convince you that even marathon moms have time to make the most of their toddler's natural energy and potential for success.

Review

Among all the developmental guidelines and practical help, Barbara Curtis encourages parents and helps them see ways to build confidence in themselves as they look for the joy in those sometimes oh-so-trying, always intense and curious, wonderful toddler years." -- Brad Lewis, former editor Christian Parenting Today

Barbara Curtis really hones in on importance of the toddler years in Small Beginnings. She clearly shows that parents have a true window of opportunity during the toddler years to develop their children's God given gifts. This book would be a great resource for any parent or grandparent!" -- Dennis Rainey, FamilyLife

Years in the making, Small Beginnings is a great resource for parents raising toddlers. Only a mom with eleven children could have written this book." -- Mike Yorkey, Focus on the Family former editor
