Solid outline I just didn’t realize it was religiously based and would prefer guide without the section devoted to the authors faith.

I love the "Parenting Your... Series". The driving focus of each book is to make the most of every phase your child goes through in life. Each book starts with that same fact: we get approx. 936 weeks with our children, from babbling babies to grown adults ready to take on the world themselves. After that reminder you are struck with the reminder that those weeks are dwindling! These are part parenting books, and part journals for tracking all the fun things your kiddo is doing during this stage of life.
Each of these books is geared toward where your child is at during their current phase. For a four year old you will get a call to action on what to say, how to play, and memories to make and remember your no so babyish, little one by. There are great tips on how to handle conversations that may come up at this age. A whole list of phrases your kiddo needs to hear from you at this point in life. There is even a list of great books to read with your little one. As a mini parenting book you will walk away with tools to help your child emotionally, mentally, in social situations, and with their faith walk.
I started this series for my now 11 year old and have re-read each book for my two younger ones (currently re-reading Parenting Your Four Year Old with my youngest). Each time I am reminded just how fleeting these years are. I decided to get a separate journal for each of my kids and complete the journaling portion of this book in their individual journals. Kind of like Mama's Memoirs to them about their childhood.
I recommend a box of tissues if you do decide to pick up this book, because realizing how quickly the time passes each year is sure to leave you with all the feels.

Pretty decent read. It was simple but had some good little tips, mainly a journaling book with a few specific things about your child at their current age. Enjoyed it pretty well. Would be interested in reading more in the series.

Terrible. For every page written by the authors, there are 3 blank pages to be written by the reader.

Lots of room for journaling.
