as I look on my, now, four year old with admiration, I suddenly realize - that while he was learning how to walk and how to talk - it was actually easier to teach him stuff.I didn't have to be as resourceful, he couldn't run away and he actually liked EVERYTHING I said.. thus he learned a fantastic amount of knowledge (he's smarty pants) and I got all the credit...Now that he's four - and he has a year old brother - it's a bit difficult to produce the same results. He requires a different approach. Different ideas. A lot more action!This is why I LOVED this book:every day has a specific thought, idea, that I can teach (or attempt to) my four year old and his baby brother,every thought is slightly expanded on and some of the info is actually new to me,there are quotes, crafts and ideas,and the tone in which the book is written - is simply friendly, and smart. I like the fact that Courtney has three children - it comes across in her writing well - she understands my crazy mom side and she's nice enough to where she actually wrote an action plan and put it in a book.One idea - if this would be converted into a calendar - and I could access it on my computer calendar/smartphone/ipad whatever lol... it would be indispensable.only con is it's not an all conclusive schedule - and I still have to figure out when to breastfeed/nap and feed my kids, alas - I forgive Courtney - she still did a bang up job :pThumbs up!
