Zero to One: Parenting Through the "I Need You Now" Phase, Second Edition

THIS IS THE PHASE WHEN NOBODY SLEEPS, EVERYBODY SMELLS, AND ONE MESMERIZING BABY CONVINCES YOU, I NEED YOU NOW.

If you're finding sleep hard to come by and you're surrounded by more messes than you ever imagined possible, you might be in one of the best phases of your child's life. In this short volume, Kristen Ivy and Reggie Joiner simplify what you need to know as a parent so you can make the most of the present realities, the distinctive opportunities, and the future implications of the next 52 weeks. After all, you've only got about 936 weeks left until your child graduates from high school!

Zero to One is part of the Phase Project, a synthesis of real-life parent experiences, academic research, and gatherings of leaders and educational experts from across the ministry and child development spectrum.
