My
Review:
I would recommend this amazing book to every single couple
that is expecting a baby and to all parents in general. Let me just share that,
I’m not in the target audience yet, I’m not married and I don’t have kids yet. I
requested to review this book because I enjoy gathering as much knowledge as I
can about being an effective parent ahead of time. I plan to reread this book
in the future whenever we’re expecting our first child or child(s). I
appreciated the advice she gave to first time parents concerning the importance
of communicating with your spouse and making sure you talk about other things
besides just focusing on always taking about the baby. It’s critical to still
take time to listen to what’s on your spouse heart and mind. I also liked her guidance
on staying connected during the pregnancy with some helpful suggestions such as
having a getaway to add some romance before the baby arrives and it doesn’t
have to be an expensive trip. I really loved how she guided readers through the
many different pregnancy stages and how to handle them. This book is an immense
benefit to parents and this will teach them all about how their lives will
change once they have a baby!
“I received a review copy of Expectant Parents from Litfuse for this
review.”
About the book:
Many books focus on prenatal development and
the health of a mom-to-be. While Expectant Parents does touch on
important issues of pregnancy, its core purpose is help expectant parents
understand key issues related to the arrival of a new child in the home,
offering practical assistance as they prepare themselves for long-term family
success.
It's often said that
babies don't come with an instruction manual. This book actually provides
parents with information and practical steps for writing their own---as they
work to create the kind of home and family they choose to build. This
includes strengthening their own marriage relationship, setting plans and
expectations for parenthood, increasing communication, and preparing for the
new stage of their family life that is just ahead. Ideal for first-time
parents, this book would also be helpful for couples wanting to explore and
prepare for the emotional, physical, and spiritual life changes that come
with the arrival of any new child into the family.
