Sunny Side Upbringing is a simple parenting toolkit designed to make your life easier and more fulfilled by keeping your family values at the forefront of daily life. Parent educator, Maria Dismondy, took her greatest advice, research, ideas, activities and educational resources from over the last 20 years and put them down on paper for all of us busy parents to benefit from. The result is a month-by-month parenting guide (kind of like "a parent's best friend") that's loaded with enriching content that fosters creative parent-child interactions rooted in the values that matter most to you. This book was created for families with toddlers, preschoolers and elementary-aged children. With all the research done for you, all you have to do is open the page and jump into the fun of parenting with purpose.
