Synopsis

Parenting Your Kindergartner

MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY PHASE IN YOUR CHILD'S LIFE

You have approximately 936 weeks from the time your child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast, and kids change and grow quickly. It's as if they shift or move on just as you're starting to figure them out. It all makes the responsibility to shape a child's faith and character feel overwhelming.

Parenting Your Kindergartner is a concise and interactive guide that simplifies what you need to know about kindergartners in general and gives you a place to discover more about your own kindergartner, so you can make the most of this phase.

You often feel like the school day is too long for your kid, and maybe a little too short for you, but you might be in one of the best phases of your child's life. THIS IS THE PHASE WHEN UNFILTERED WORDS MAKE YOU LAUGH, SCHOOL DROP-OFF MAKES YOU CRY, AND LIFE BECOMES A STAGE WHERE YOUR KID SHOUTS, "LOOK AT ME!"

Discover...

• what's changing about your kid over the next 52 weeks,
• the 6 things your kid needs most,
• and 4 conversations to have in this phase.
