Overview

Open the page and jump into the fun of parenting with purpose

Sunny Side Upbringing is a simple parenting toolkit designed to make your life easier and more fulfilled by keeping your family values on the forefront of daily life. Parent educator Maria Dismondy took her greatest advice, research, ideas, activities, and educational resources from over the last 20 years and put them down on paper for us all to benefit from. The result is a month-by-month parenting resource (kind of like “a parent’s best friend”) that is loaded with enriching content that fosters creative parent-child interactions rooted in the values that matter most to you.

"Sunny Side Upbringing is a glorious compilation of practical, proven and easy ways we can raise kind children. Dismondy’s month-by-month format makes her ideas accessible and doable. My hope is that everyone use these strategies and we will make the world a sunnier, happier place for our kids." —Dr. Michele Borba, Ed.D.

If you want to raise caring, giving, self-assured children, this book is a must have. The creative, hands-on activities and practical, entertaining delivery sets this book apart. It will definitely be on my bookshelf!" —Julia Cook, Author of bestseller My Mouth is a Volcano, InternationalSpeaker and Parenting Expert
