Now you have a reason to survive another 15 years. That's worth the money you paid for the book.First of all, you need a pencil. Don't use a pen, it's against the rules. I'm joking. Instead, I recommend to check the activities with colorful markers. The book will look nicer. If you are reading on an E-book, find an electronic way to check the list.The book is structured in 7 chapters and every chapter has got a brief introduction because you didn't just buy a checklist. This one is a proper book!Anyway, there are 1,000 (one thousand!) activities that follow the life of your child from 0 to 15 years old and give you suggestions for interesting things to do.The book is quite intuitive to use. If you have done the activity, check it. And that is all.In the next paragraphs I will focus on the virtues of this book.The virtues of this bookWhat is a checklist? It's a list of things you need to check. Fine, now, why should we need a checklist? Because we tend to forget. Moreover, we tend to pretend we forget. In a word, we procrastinate.So, the checklist will give you the opportunity to kill the procrastinator that lives in you. Plus, you will also remember everything you did for your children. To throw it back to their face when they are grown up. Too often we forget to focus on how many things we do. So, these are some of the virtues of this book.1.It is a checklist for the things that you could do with your kids in the future. If they feel bored on a rainy afternoon, just take the book and find one of the activities that I suggest.2.It can be used as a checklist for the things that you have already done. So, check them all. No problem if your kid is 4, 7 or 12 years old. You still have lots of interesting suggestions to implement. And, of course, you can always go back and check what's missing. 3.It gives a bunch of ideas for new activities to do. Have I already said that?4.It is a sort of family portrait for the things that you did with your family, just like a photo album. In a few years you will look back and see how much time you spent with your family before everything spoilt. It will be a moment of sweet sadness, I promise.5.It is a time and stage reminder. Being a parent is a long run. So, don't take it fast and enjoy the ride. This checklist will show you what to expect and what not to expect at every single stage of your child's life.6.It becomes a personal memory. You can track all the activities that I endorse, and you can add more details, such as a date or a specific memory that you have. It will turn this book into a diary. Moreover, I decided to leave some space for you to fill at the end of some chapters. This book can be read in a few hours, but it is thought out to be finished in years. So don't be hasty.And finally,7.I live in Rome, Italy, and I strongly recommend you to come and visit.
