It's a Beautiful Day!

The With My Child series of books will help you increase the quality of your family time. These children's books about family bonding are written and illustrated by a mom who practices attachment parenting. These unique, interactive books are designed to promote family bonding by showing parents and children how to connect through simple, everyday activities. Not only are the books pretty to look at and fun to read; each book also acts like a parenting guide since it is broken down into three parts.

First, the author's letter to parents. Details the intent and inspiration behind that particular book. It gives the parent-reader insight into how the book can impact his or her family's life and sets the tone for the reading experience.

Second, the story. Truly an experience rather than just poems to read; simple and sweet, the poems are filled with touching endearments, physical movement, hugs, and fun. Illustrations are whimsical, soft and colorful yet muted; leaving children and parents room to imagine themselves as the characters in the books.

Third, enrichment pages. Each book has an enrichment section filled with information to take the feeling and experience of the book further into family life. This section includes activities, project ideas or explanations of content.

These three parts work together beautifully to help parents succeed in the daunting task of spending precious quality time with their children. In our fast-paced world, families having loads of time to spend together is rare; therefore the quality of the time spent together is vastly more important than the quantity. In the short few minutes it takes to read each of these books parents and children experience highly rewarding active, interaction which can increase the strength of bonds. Parents and children need and deserve to spend quality time together...these books will help! Every day with your child can be a beautiful day!

The secret to being a good parent

Every parent deserves to know that the secret of good parenting doesn’t rest in the number of minutes or hours you spend with your child per day; it lies in the way you spend whatever minutes you have together. Many parents feel immense guilt about the time they spend apart from their children due to work and other obligations. Those parents need to know that interactions, even short ones, when rich in quality, closeness, fun, hugs and learning about each other will lead to strong relationships and strong children! According to AskDrSears.com children who have experienced the attachment style of parenting have better behavior, are more trusting, are more independent, are more empathetic, and have increased learning capacity just to name a few.
