Just when you think you have it under control there are new Covid restrictions. Endless meetings about what to do at school……
New teachers, NEW protocols Changing every week. And then some in the group know and I don’t. How do they know what’s happening?? Am I backward or just plain slow?/
This AM I was eating the cover of the Oreo cookie …Oh my!
No I don’t want soup again today or I am not even sure what to cook. Stupid questions keep coming in to my head like….Are vegans better at starving than meat eaters?
And then I noticed that Abigail who is online at school, suddenly she was either getting it or losing it. Nothing in between. No happy medium that allows for a day of calm or peaceful communication.
Remember that day long long ago when you would think, “Let’s go to a sit down restaurant, change the scene, change the conversation. feel different.
Gone gone gone forever it seems.
So I came up with:
5 Ways you can test that you really are in this world
1 Can you tell if the sun is shining outside?
2 Do you know if everyone in your household did have or is having breakfast?
3 Is the lady in the store still screaming at you to keep on your mask?
4. Which hand is your right hand?
5 Which foot do you step off on?
Fool Proof. All correct YEAH!!!!!
Solution
It seems we need to go back to the good ole books. Build our children’s libraries. Read something away from staring at the screen
EAW Publications has a book designed to ease the pain so to speak.
It’s a new series starting with the prelude “The Adventures of Tweet Tweet”. Tweet Tweet teaches kids how to use emotions positively. Just like the negative emotions we learn how to show Joy, Love Curiosity.
The series Tweet Tweet & Friends features family, neighbors, friends in PENGUIN WORLD. The star is Tweet Tweet herself an awesome pink penguin And it’s just one great adventure after another.
Take a moment and buy a copy and you will see how this little book answers the question that hit you earlier:
How do I buy a good kids book?
Major concerns include:
Price: What can you afford now?
Access: Can I buy this book online
Accessibility: How long will this book be available?
The real question however is:
How do you know that the book you are looking at is THE book that you want?
Well I always think the best judge is the person who will be reading the book. Kiching!! Make sure you carry the person with you, the person who will be the owner of the book. If this is not possible, drop a few hints and check the reaction.
One last question.
How do you chose the right book?
Answer these questions
Why are you looking for a book
Who decided you wanted a book and as you get closer to selection:
Is the cover attractive, like what you would like to see around you
Is it at the reading level that you need
Moms, Dads, Friends, Caregivers, Buyer of good books. Try and find a moment to relax. Let the young one realize that reading is an admirable pass time and it will all work out!! Take my word for it !!
