The Wide-Eyed Wonder Years: A Mommy Guide to Preschool Daze

... Show More
Preschoolers are wide-eyed and full of wonder. And so are their parents! With everything from getting children to eat their vegetables to answering the multitude of curious questions kids ask, parents are kept incredibly busy. "Perhaps no other time in childhood are kids as impressionable and curious as this," says mom and author Lorilee Craker. In The Wide-Eyed Wonder Years: A Mommy Guide to Preschool Daze she reveals the brilliance and humor of these amazing years in a child's life, showing parents the incredible opportunities they have to teach, disciple, enjoy, and grow closer to their preschoolers. Drawing from real-life parenting experiences, including many of her own, Lorilee delivers loads of funny stories, road-tested tips, and hard-won wisdom to help moms make the most of the often amusing, sometimes maddening, preschool days.
