Divided into stages from infancy on up, it offers a pithy lesson on every page. Helpful reassurance: Tickle her, play with her, give her piggyback rides. She’s not breakable. Advice on passing down skills: Show her how to climb up a tree. Also, how to climb down. Your role: Be home for dinner on time. This is very important. Make sure she knows she can call you at any time and you will go get her. This is why the mobile phone was invented. Guideposts, both material and spiritual: Give her a piggybank when she’s little. She’s never too young to learn the value of saving. And, Help her understand that there’s more to life than wearing the right jeans.
