The Danger Zone Bill Mitchell

The first few years of the hurricane have brought sleepless nights and children with immediate, physical needs. They need to eat; they need to do something productive with their energy; they need to be taught basic skills like getting dressed, relating to other people, and listening. You and your spouse are exhausted by all that life has thrown at you in the first few years.

You may not have noticed when your child entered a new phase. One day, they are helpful and a joy to be around. They are fun. The second phase of the Hurricane of Child Raising is sunshine; it's a time to delight in your children.

But there is danger in the sunshine because it only lasts a few years. The teenage years are coming. Those years will be powerful enough to tear your family apart. Your family must enjoy the sunshine years while investing for the return of the storm, the teenage years. In this book, we will look at practical ways to do both - enjoy the sunshine and prepare for the return of the storm.
