Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I put my five-year-old son, Wyatt, on a bus for his first day of school. I watched him become more distant, and I noticed that he was losing his childlike innocence. He was becoming more interested in what other kids thought of him. #2 I missed my son, and I wanted to give him a childhood. I wanted to experience it with him. I wanted to be with him all day, and not have strangers get to spend more time with him than I did. #3 The pursuit of giving our children the best childhood possible has led us to become neurotic parents. We have forgotten that for everything gained, something is lost. #4 The start them early mentality has replaced the mind-set that late is okay on social development, relational connections, and stress-reducing environments for children to fully develop
