I Love You Rituals


I so highly recommend this book. Please buy it. :-) I wish I could afford to give each of you this book, I feel so strongly about it. The author came to speak at our convention and I picked up a copy while I was there. I have been reading it and am so moved. The book is focused on interactive finger plays, soothing games and physically active games that can be played with children from infancy through age eight. These powerful rituals prime a child's brain for learning, help children cope with change, enhance attention , cooperation and self-esteem, help busy families stay close and affirm the parent-child bond that insulates children from violence, peer pressure, and drugs, and much more.
Please put this book on the very top of your list! It has a very important and urgent message for all families.
Also, for those that long-range plan, Dr. Bailey will be coming to Dallas Sept. 19-20th, 2008 for a two-day workshop. I am definitely going and wanted you all to know about it too. It is for parents, educators, anyone who works with children. See her website at www.beckybailey.com for her products and other parenting help.
