What people are saying about
Little Steps for New Parents: What a terrific book! The idea of giving parents bits of useful information on a weekly basis is simply brilliant. And I loved the layout—especially all those pictures of dads and babies. Wade F. Horn, Ph.D. President, The National Fatherhood Initiative
As a grandmother of six, I have found your book a tremendous help for each of my four daughters and their first encounter with their newborns. The easy way it is laid out meant they didn’t have to look through pages of information. Keeping the journal was fun too. Barbara Eldridge, President Mindmasters
The simplicity, quality of information, and opportunity to actively enjoy being a family right from the beginning make this journal something to use and then treasure for a lifetime. Carol Kuna, M.A. Early Childhood Specialist
As more is learned regarding the importance of infant brain development and stimulation, parents will become increasingly eager for suggestions on how to provide a suitable environment for their infant. Little Steps for New Parents is a great tool. Parent Educator and Program Specialist, FL.
From a special group of young mothers in Long Beach, CA: I love writing about my baby. This is a whole year’s worth of treasured memories. This book helps me understand more about my baby and the different things I can do. This book gives me encouragement to do my best as a mother and tells me things to do for myself and my baby and I feel more confident. This book explains how much love and attention my baby needs and it really helps me to learn how to communicate with my baby. I learned that it is important to make my baby feel comfortable, loved, safe, and secure. When he grows up I will show him the book.
