"Geri’s no-nonsense yet compassionate advice and Elizabeth’s humorous and empathetic examples make this a 'must-read' for any young mother. I was eager to make sure that this book found its way into the hands of my daughter and my daughter-in-law." (Kay McKean, Disciples Today, Read entire review)
“What an amazing book! I want every mom of preschoolers to read this. It is phenomenal. I cried and laughed...and realize Christian moms need this teaching so much; this has been a neglected area." (Jeanie Shaw, Boston)
"The Tender Years is a must read for all moms of toddlers. In the midst of a world full of do's and don't's for parents, this book gives spiritual guidance while also validating many of the feelings young moms have. The format is manageable and adaptable to the schedule of a mom with preschoolers without sacrificing spiritual insight and thought-provoking input." (Sarah Davis, Athens, GA)
“As a mother of two girls, one newly ‘graduated’ from kindergarten and a baby who is about to turn one year old, I found The Tender Years to be helpful and inspiring. Since the book is set up in short chapters designed for busy mothers who are running around after little children, it was easy to glean wisdom from God’s word, some new ideas, and some refreshment for my soul in a short period of time. I highly recommend The Tender Years to other mothers of preschoolers who have a dream to raise godly children and who want to treasure this special (but busy!) time in our lives.” (Carla Grubb, Nashville)
The Tender Years is a book of wisdom for moms with preschool children. It not only instructs and guides; it also encourages, inspires and connects.
It contains thirty short chapters focused on various aspects of the daily life of moms, with its joys, fears, hopes, challenges and everything in between. Interspersed with poignant poems that express and relate to the hearts of moms, this book will bring a smile on one page, a sigh on another, and an “aha” on still another.
Guaranteed not to overwhelm with “to do’s” and “not to do’s,” The Tender Years is a gift of refreshment to sometimes harried, sometimes harassed and oftentimes happy moms.
Written by Geri Laing and Elizabeth Laing Thompson, mother and daughter, grandmother and current mom of preschoolers, The Tender Years offers distilled wisdom and fresh experience.
 Elizabeth says in her part of the introduction: "This book is intended as an encouragement to young mothers in a time of life that vacillates from heartwarming to hilarious; from exhausting to exasperating—a kaleidoscope of emotions that often hit all at the same time. We hope our words encourage you to walk closely to God, to maintain your spirituality and your sanity, to follow biblical wisdom instead of worldly ways, and to be confident in your parenting."
Read chapter 1 -- "Who's the Boss?" by Geri
Read chapter 22 -- "Broken Record" by Elizabeth.
For your encouragement, here are two poems by Elizabeth. They are samples of several poems interspersed throughout the book.
