Are You Ready To Be Parents? Parenting with Confidence, Love, and Direction Karen L Parsonson

So you want to be parents...but are you really ready? It's not just about having a child, but also about remaining a healthy couple and two fulfilled individuals. Parenting is the ride of a lifetime, filled with endless excitement and perils, so you need to be on the same page. In today's highly competitive world, our children need and deserve to feel loved unconditionally, to feel good about themselves, and to be allowed to grow and mature at their own pace. Every child is unique. You'll learn about what to expect and what it takes at every age and stage of development, while still maintaining the balance you need in your life. Many believe that the focus of all energy should be on the children, alone. However, the solid foundation of a healthy couple relationship and two thriving individuals is every bit as important, to grow together and to continue maturing as two distinct people. A happy, healthy family life begins with two committed people dedicated to each other and themselves, as well. The respect that you give to yourself and each other will help you through the rough times and teach your children that you deserve their respect, as well. After it all when they're grown, you should still have continued to grow as a couple and two people in your own right, as well. This book will help you keep your focus on that balance, making sure that you don't lose sight of who you are as a couple and two individuals.
