Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Became

Inside, you’ll find stories and practical advice on everything from potty training and boundaries to your child’s education and keeping your marriage strong.  Each chapter focuses on a specific parenting topic and concludes with a “Talking It Over” section consisting of questions for parents to discuss with one another.  If possible, read this book before the baby comes and then refer to it again as you experience the joys and challenges of rearing children.

Co-authored by Gary Chapman and Shannon Warden, Things I Wish I’d Known Before We Became Parents, combines the wisdom of counselor and author Dr. Gary Chapman with Dr. Shannon Warden, the mother of three young children and a counseling teacher.
