Teach Me About – Ages 1-3

Children who are between the ages of 1 and 3 are just beginning to learn motor skills and explore their world. They may speak their first words, begin to feed themselves, become potty trained, and play on their own alongside others. Not yet in a school setting, toddlers need help thinking about the world from the point of view of others.

Written in the first person, the TEACH ME ABOUT books are designed to teach your child exactly how to respond in responsible ways to the people, things, and events that your child encounters in daily life. The process of assuming responsibility for one’s own life needs to begin as early as possible. By sharing the TEACH ME ABOUT books with your toddler, you are taking the first important step in transferring the responsibility for your child’s life from you to your child.

Let’s Talk About – Ages 4 to 5, Preschool to Kindergarten

From age 4-5, children are just beginning to interact in social situations. In school, they are learning to cooperate in the classroom, to listen to the teacher, and to follow instructions. They are becoming independent from their parents and are experiencing all the emotions that go along with separation. They are learning the difference between fantasy and reality.

If not understood and handled properly, early childhood emotions and attitudes can be painful and can hinder a young child from becoming responsible. By sharing the LET’S TALK ABOUT books with your child, you are taking the first important step to help your young child understand and respond in positive ways to normal feelings and attitudes that can otherwise be uncomfortable and difficult to handle.

Help Me Be Good – Ages 5 to 7, Grades K-2

Five-to-seven year olds who are in grades K-2 are learning to get along in groups, though they may also want to be the center of attention and express their feelings freely. Their attention spans are short and this may cause them to be fidgety when the teacher reads aloud to the class. They are learning about patience! By the end of second grade, children are reading on their own, speaking in complex sentences, and learning to tell stories that have a logical sequence.

Early childhood misbehavior can cause stress and discomfort for everyone. The HELP ME BE GOOD books define various misbehaviors, and explain why they don’t work. These books also set forth the good behaviors that will help your child achieve his or her acceptable end goals.

A Fun and Easy Way – Ages 7 to 10, Grades 2-5

Between the ages of 7 and 10, children begin to develop empathy for others. They learn about truthfulness, making decisions, taking care of their possessions, and setting goals. In school they are becoming more literate as they select their own chapter books and begin to figure out words on their own. Children in grades 2-5 are often unprepared to fulfill the many expectations that are placed on them, and this results in frustration all around. The FUN AND EASY WAY books can help your child fulfill the expectations that inundate his or her life by providing simple, step-by-step instructions to accomplish various tasks and goals. The FUN AND EASY WAY books will also provide the rationale behind each expectation and thus motivate your child to follow through with what needs to be done.

Winning Skills – Ages 11 to 12, grades 5-6

During the time period when children are 11 and 12 they make the transition from being the oldest students in elementary school to being the youngest in middle school. This transition is often accompanied by moodiness and rebelliousness. With more homework than before, children begin to organize their time effectively and to create structure and boundaries in their lives.

Every young person has a desire to succeed, but few possess the knowledge and skills that are required to be successful. The WINNING SKILLS books can help your child organize his or life by providing all of the information, including step-by-step instructions for achieving personal goals and winning at every level.

Good Answers to Tough Questions – 6 to 12, grades 1-6

Throughout elementary school and especially at grade 6, when a child is a preteen (or “tween”), peer pressure creates a conflict between being an individual and being part of the group. When an unexpected event takes place that is out of children’s control, they must call on all their resources to cope and survive through a stressful time.

No matter how hard you try to protect your child, he or she will at some point encounter traumatic experiences. Whether experienced directly or indirectly, children need to be equipped to handle trauma appropriately to insure that it will not cause permanent emotional damage. The GOOD ANSWERS TO TOUGH QUESTIONS books will help you impart to your child everything he or she needs to know about a particular trauma in order to survive and grow from it. The GOOD ANSWERS TO TOUGH QUESTIONS books teach that trauma itself is not positive or negative. Instead, it is how one handles trauma that is positive or negative.
