Book Details:

Book Title: Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day by Susan Newman, PhD
Category: Adult non-fiction, 148 pages
Genre: Parenting / Family
Publisher: Iron Gate Press
Published: Oct 2014 (new edition)
Available in: Print and E-book format: mobi (for Kindle), ePub, PDF
Will send books: Print copies to US and Canada, ebook Internationally
Tour dates: Dec 1 to 19, 2014
Content Rating: G

The original/first edition of Little Things Long Remembered (Random House/Crown kept in print for almost 20 years) was a Literary Guild Book Club Selection; an AOL.com featured book; excerpts ran in Family Circle and Good Housekeeping and more; the Little Things… series sold over a 100,000 copies.

Book Synopsis:

As digital devices take over family life in subtle and seductive ways, what will happen to child development and family bonding when children spend more time with screens than they do at school or with their parents?

Life swirls at a hectic pace in most families today. That reality places a high premium on finding family time. Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day, is updated for today's digitally driven and time-strapped families, offering hundreds of easy ways to create treasured childhood rituals that your children will look back on fondly.

Consider this book a personal think-tank for being a standout parent and a takeoff point that will spark ideas for cherished family time. When a parent sometimes feels out of touch with children, Little Things Long Remembered is the go-to resource chock-full of ways to bring families closer while making efficient use of everyone’s available but generally scarce time. It is possible to stay involved no matter how busy you are.

Childhood is an adventure, a journey to be joined by parents whenever possible. Small parcels of time well used assure stellar memories—and ultimately, memories and traditions are the backbone of family unity…and the glue that holds family together. In these short intervals you give a child a clear sense of security and attachment to you, to your family unit, and to your larger family.

The book hinges on 10 Cardinal Rules designed to help parents let go of work or social obligations and commit to spending time with their children. Rules include:

At home, focus as much as possible on your kids.
Put away electronic devices so you can really ‘be’ with them
Choose activities you like; children can tell when you are not having fun and are ‘faking it.’

Little Things Long Remembered is designed to help maximize parents and children’s available time. Slow down to grab pockets of time—even a few minutes here and there.

Establishing Ties (gestures that take seconds or a minute or two to strengthen parent-child bonds)
Five Minutes More or Less
Half and Hour to an Hour or So
Weekend Fun
Special Circumstances — When You Travel

Special Circumstances — Sick Days
Special Days — Happy Holidays
Special Days — Memorable Birthdays

Readers are encouraged to pick and choose to match their needs and their children’s ages and personalities. The time you spend with children and what readers choose to embrace from within these pages will become as memorable and meaningful to parents as they will be to children.

This book is a family guide for feeding children’s memory banks. Minimum effort—and sometimes no effort at all because some memories create themselves—brings maximum results in the memory department. Children will look back and say, “I had such a happy childhood.” And, parents will say, “I did my job well.”

Praise for Little Things Long Remembered:

“Little Things... promises—and delivers—a treasure chest of ideas to build cherished memories and strong family connections. Keep this book close by.” — best-selling author Judy Blume

“Newman’s tips for making grand family memories are so easy to implement that every parent will want to grab a few to try right away.” —Susan K. Perry, PhD, author of Playing Smart and Kylie’s Heel

“... a goldmine of wise and easily accessible ways to create a close, connected childhood, full of rituals that shape enduring childhood memories...” —Catherine Steiner-Adair, EdD, author of The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age
