PARENTING IN EVERY PHASE

PRESCHOOL
Zero to One
The phase when nobody sleeps, everybody smells, and one mesmerizing baby convinces you, “I Need You Now.”
One to Two
The phase when nobody’s on time, everything’s a mess, and one eager toddler will insist, “I Can Do It.”
Three to Four
The phase when anything can be imagined, everything can be a game, and one curious preschooler wants to know “Why?”
