# Sneak Peek at “940 Saturdays” from Random House September 2, 2014!

May 2, 2014 1 min read 

SNEAK PEEK! SNEAK PEEK! SNEAK PEEK! SNEAK PEEK!

Here’s the first look at my follow-up to the bestselling “No Regrets Parenting”: Due out September 2, 2014 from Random House:

There are 940 Saturdays between a baby’s birth and his or her 18th birthday. That is my clarion call to parents, inspiring the New York Times article, “Childhood: 940 Saturdays and You’re Done.” What followed were shock waves of urgency, and renewed motivation for parents to make the most of every moment of their kids’ childhoods.

Now, the perfect 2-in-1 solution to make each Saturday count: 940 Saturdays: Family Activities and a Keepsake Journal (Potter Style/Random House; $24.99; on sale September 2, 2014). This beautiful hardcover journal, which includes a unique guide to kids’ developmental milestones and a removable booklet of age-appropriate activities, inspires parents to chronicle for posterity the precious moments they spend with their kids.

Rather than providing a step-by-step manual, the activities handbook offers ideas that will trigger parents’ imagination and propel them to make each Saturday a memorable one. These activities are perfectly catered to every age and stage, with ideas ranging from backyard bug hunts to backwoods treasure maps, from indoor cityscapes to outdoor music walls.

By journaling their weekends in 940 Saturdays, parents will create a unique record of their child’s growth and development, and will enjoy a newfound appreciation for the ever-evolving journey of childhood.

And, YES, “940 SATURDAYS” IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
