Can anyone really prepare for parenthood?
Yes!
Couples often spend surprisingly little time getting ready for this huge rite of passage. They may paint the nursery, but neglect discussing how their roles may change. They may have a car seat ready, but not a will.
The first of its kind, this interactive book provides couples with essential conversation-starters and action items to complete before becoming parents. In Preparing for Parenthood, you’ll discover how to transition to parenting in ways that best align with your own beliefs and values by:
• Learning the biggest concerns couples face when becoming new parents and how to discuss them.
• Finding your unique strengths as a couple, and addressing challenges as you embark on this journey.
• Developing greater confidence as parents so you can feel more relaxed and prepared.
Parenting is simultaneously heart-opening and heart-wrenching, humbling and humorous, joyful and overwhelming. But this small and indispensable book will help you alleviate stress and answer some of the biggest questions you’ll want to address before your baby arrives.
