Early Childhood Educator Talks You Through Tackling Day-to-Day Challenges of Raising Children

Why does my son refuse to put on his shoes today? How can I talk to my daughter about putting the phone down without starting World War III? These are the parenting conundrums that get answered in a newly published common-sense book on creatively outsmarting and innovatively communicating with your child.

Lynn Sanchez draws on her 50-year career in early childhood education and from her own experience raising three boys to author “Behind the Brussels Sprouts.” This charming laugh-out-loud book gives you chapter-by-chapter insight on how to handle the messy day-to-day challenges of parenting.

Sanchez presents a digestible guide for child-rearing that young parents can relate to while weaving pedagogy learned as a site coordinator for renowned pediatric author T. Berry Brazelton.
