review 1: I loved the format and the simplicity of this book. It is so easy to simply grab the book, choose an age appropriate idea to fit a certain time frame, and make someone smile. It's the perfect book for new parents and seasoned parents (or grandparents) alike. As adults, we too often take simple gestures and small moments for granted in our rush to perfect the future. While parents (especially those of us who work from home, stay at home or homeschool) may find many of the ideas presented by the author are really common sense ones--sometimes, as we maneuver through a busy blur of a day, it's nice to have a little "cheat sheet" of quick ideas for reconnecting as a family. I also enjoyed the book because it was a little nostalgic--it brought back some memories of my own childh... moreood (and those of my children) as I remembered actually doing some of the little suggestions with my family! Little Things Long Remembered would make a wonderful gift for parents, grandparents or even caregivers and teachers.I received a complimentary copy of this book for use in a blog review. All opinions and experiences are my own.
review 2: While I am not one who feels the need to manufacture memories or experiences for my children, I did like this little gem of a book. It made me reflect on the things I already do with my children more than anything else. The book is full of little suggested activities or gestures that you can do to make a memory and strengthen a parent/child relationship. Ideas like, "attend the same fair or carnival every year" or "pitch a tent in your own backyard" and "write a short letter to your children each year on their birthday". There are sections with suggestions for things you can do when you're away from each other, or when you have 5 minutes or less.Much of the book is really just common sense and you'll probably find that you already do or have done many of these suggestions. However, it's always nice to be reassured that you're doing a great job as a parent.The book is short and would be a great little gift or stocking stuffer for someone. less
