The Complete Phase Guide Series

Discover What Your Kid Needs Most in This Phase—Updated with New Guidance!

Kids grow fast. As soon as you figure out what’s going on in their world—from their toddler brain development to their high school friend drama—everything changes. Each new phase of your kid's life feels like exploring uncharted territory. Just when you think you’ve got it down, they grow—mentally, physically, and emotionally, bringing new and unexpected challenges.

Meet the updated edition of Parent Cue’s most popular series—the Phase Guides. The Phase Guides are a trusted resource of parents across the nation to help them raise kids with faith and character. Each guide is tailored to a kid’s unique phase and is based on hundreds of hours of research and countless interviews with child development experts, professional counselors, teachers, and parents.

More than a "journal" but less than a detailed "manual," these guides were made for busy parents—offering guidance to help you navigate your unique journey parenting your unique kid.

Our best-selling parenting guide has been updated to provide you with even more support to understand your kid at every phase.
