SHOW ME HOW! BUILD YOUR CHILD’S SELF-ESTEEM THROUGH READING, CRAFTING AND COOKING by Vivian Kirkfield
Do you constantly find yourself asking, “What shall we
do today?” Well, ask no more. SHOW ME
HOW! BUILD YOUR CHILD’S SELF-ESTEEM THROUGH READING, CRAFTING AND COOKING by
Vivian Kirkfield, is a creative gold mine of resources for parents,
grandparents, daycare workers and teachers alike. Show Me How recommends 100 picture books to read, many of them
classics. The books are matched with
simple crafts and kid-friendly recipes. The book is grouped into 6 chapters. Each
chapter has a different topic such as: “I Can Do It Myself’”, “I Am Really Mad Right
Now”, “I'm Afraid”, “I
Like Myself” and more.
This book
is a must have on many levels to me. As an avid reader and supporter of engaging
children in reading, I’m excited that adults have a place that offers them great
book suggestions. Of course being a child and family therapist, my other favorite
part of the book is that the author also includes a
"positive note" that helps the caregiver recognize how reading the
book, completing the craft and making the recipe, helps the child develop a
positive self-image. There is also a place where the caregiver can write their
own notes about each story/activity.
I will be recommending this to my friends &
clients with young children. Using this book is bound to bring parents and
their children closer together and foster Positive Parental Participation.
