Description

The first six years are foundational for the rest of a person’s life. Self-esteem, morality, identity, relationships, curiosity, language, imagination and cognitive function are all developed during these years. So how should these years be spent? And how can parents nurture their child’s development in the best way possible?

In this guide you’ll learn what to expect in your child’s development, how to discipline during this difficult and wonderful time, and how to set up an atmosphere of learning in your home. Also included is a simple and flexible kindergarten program based on Charlotte Mason’s philosophy.
