Arts and Crafts Busy Book, The
by Trish Kuffner
Tools for parents.
I am in the throes of preparing for grandmotherhood. Though neither of my
offspring are having babies, as of yet, that hasn't stopped my maternal or,
should I say, my "grandmaternal" urges from kicking in yet. I overheard two
young teachers in my school talk about putting their babies on their backs
to fall asleep. I had always put my babies on their tummies, but I was informed that it is now a definite "No No." So I thought, in preparation for the future, I should read 365 Baby Care Tips so I, too, would be up on the newest child care advice.
The book is reader-friendly with bold headings and simple to-the-point advice; some from the author and some from other parents. A lot of common-sense child rearing rolled into one neat package with topics from diapering to formulas and development milestones to traveling with baby. It's a book you can read and re-read whenever you have a question or concern.
As a veteran teacher of four-year olds, I found Ms. Warner's suggestions and advice educationally sound. For instance, everyone knows it's never too early to read to your child, but Ms. Warner goes one step further and encourages parents to stimulate babies' fives senses. Current educational studies show that this indeed is the prime way to stimulate brain growth.
365 Baby Care Tips makes a great gift for any new parent or grandparent.
