How To Teach Joy

I have not enjoyed a book this much in so long, I did not want to put it down. I felt hope and comfort with supporting my nephews’ development after reading this book.

Joy has brought together what families need in one place. Parenting is hard enough. I don’t want to have to read 20 parenting books. I would rather spend that time reading with my kids. This book is a two-for-one. Quality time together but learning how to do it all better.

I was immediately transported back in my emotional memory bank to being a first-time mom, with unexpected twin girls! I felt overjoyed, as well as sleep-deprived, depressed, and overwhelmed every single day of the first two years of their lives. And none of the strict child-rearing books of the time resonated with me. They felt patronizing and preachy and didn’t help me become the parent I wanted to be. I would have truly loved to pick up “How To Teach Joy”! This guide to understanding a child’s development includes concise research-based information and beautiful illustrations, and is full of passionate and graceful details. Our world needs more joy-filled children and parents. This book is a gift.
