The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children

Parenting from the Heart

By Steven Vannoy

 

We are over the moon at before5 as we start to explore with you The 10 Greatest Gifts I Give My Children, by Steven Vannoy. I discovered this book years ago, and I still use this book often when I talk with parents. I chose this book for our next book study because it does a terrific job of unpacking how to help build essential life skills needed for children’s healthy development and outlines how to balance widening the lens through which children look at life and others. Steven Vannoy shares useful parenting information and real-life anecdotal stories that aid in supporting parents in the big job of raising children to grow into successful adults.

 

Attaching and bonding to your kids is vital for their survival and development. Attachment starts as baby enters the world.

A mutual bond begins to form between baby and caregiver and this will carry on as baby develops. In some instances, like adoption, bonding and attachment might not form until the child has gone through several stages of development. With appropriate therapy and parenting techniques, kids who have been adopted later in life can still flourish and grow into successful adults. It is never too late to attach and bond with your kids! Here is a list of age appropriate ways to attach and bond with your kids birth to age five:
