About this title

Synopsis

Parenting Your New Baby

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 so quickly. It's as if they change 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 New Baby is a concise guide that simplifies what you need to know about new babies in general and offers interactive ways to discover more about your own baby to help you make the most of this phase.

Discover ...

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

About the Phase Guides

Parenting Your New Baby is part of a series of books designed especially for busy people. These guides are more than a "journal" but less than a detailed "manual." Use this book to look ahead at key ways your child will be growing this year: physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Jot down thoughts and observations to help you make the most of this phase.

For more, check out other books in this series: Don't Miss It, a concise volume to help you parent every week like it counts, and It's Just a Phase, an in-depth look at each phase, especially for church leaders. These resources are designed in partnership with Parent Cue (ParentCue.org).

About the Phase Project

The Phase Project, including this guide, is a synthesis of personal experience, academic research, and gatherings of leaders and educational experts from across the child development spectrum.

Parent Cue is affiliated with a non-profit Christian organization whose mission is to help kids and teenagers have an authentic faith that supports their future.
