It’s about the whole family learning and growing together.
It's based on feelings and memories and not dates, so it can be done in hindsight, at anytime, and is a wonderful, low-pressure quiet time family activity. |
"A Masterpiece of a keepsake!" Emily Edlynn, PhD, The Art & Science of Mom
When We Became Four is a funny, family-friendly memory book designed to welcome Baby #2 as it celebrates the whole family. It records the backstory leading to the second baby’s birth and lets the growing family chronicle the new baby’s milestones as well as the richness of their changing family dynamic to create a wonderful narrative keepsake.
Just as "When We Became Three" was so much more than a memory book, "When We Became Four" helps ease the transition of bringing the second child into the mix by fostering communication, understanding and making the older child feel included, loved and important. Fun prompts and imaginative checklists guide parents and the older sib as they create a narrative of this chaotic and wonderful time. Some checklists include: Parents tell all: We’d describe ourselves as: sleep deprived zombies; cave dwellers never leaving the house; camp directors organizing different activities for different age levels, magician’s assistants split in two. There are checklists about the big sib and baby including: Big Sib’s role at meal time: chef’s assistant, menu coordinator, waiter/busboy/girl, Diner, food critic, unruly patron.
Jean Kim, MD, wrote: The tender, almost poetic, prompts and quotes throughout the book help guide each family member towards a simultaneously harmonious and honest dialogue with each other; this memory book allows the family to grow into a bigger, stronger unit than ever before. When We Became Four is an invaluable way to both enrich and commemorate the family experience .“
