“Poems Aloud” by Joseph Coelho and Daniel Gray-Barnett is a book that is made for school-aged children. But I saw many possibilities for our young children in this book and one of them is using the book in the quality time. 

Because the poems have rhyming words, mindful scenes and fun performance factors, you can read them together with your child and have a fun connecting time. 

I tell you specific ways to use one of the poems in the book in this episode. If you want to have a just fun time together with your child, this episode is for you!

With the story of a girl and her red shoes, teach your child about letting things go. 

At the toddler level, you can teach that we can let the toys go that we don’t use any more. At the preschool and kindergarten level, you can teach that we want to practice letting things go because things change and we want to be able to change as well to experience the bigger world. 

We use the book “Red Shoes” by Karen English and Ebony Glenn.

A little deep topic today but if you want to help your child to become a lifelong learner, it is an important thing to talk about. 

Listen to the episode. I share more opinions there.

If you are looking for an alone time, I won’t be able to help you. But if you are looking for a quiet time, I can help you have that. 

In this episode, I introduce the book “The Quite Book” by Deborah Underwood (author) and Renata Liwska (illustrator) and teach you a way to have a quiet (fun) time with your child at home. 

It’ll give you an opportunity to teach your child about quiet and practice quiet as well, so I recommend to listen to this episode and try the play when you want to have some quiet time.😉

Are you in the “whole-family-is-sick” week?

How are you surviving with a sick child at home?

In this episode, I introduce a very simple activity that you can just give it to your child to do alone or you can do together with your child for a quality time. 

In February, there are Valentine’s Day and Family Day in Canada. So we are going to use hearts and a theme of family.

There is a way for you to survive with a sick child. Have a listen!😊

Does your child have many books around in her or his room?

Does s/he like to read alone?

In this episode, I talk about encouraging children to read alone and be confident by herself/himself. 

If you were curious about wordless books, you will hear my insights on them, too. 

I’m using the book “Fly!” By Mark Teague in this episode.

If your usual available time for your child is the bedtime, I have a great bedtime book suggestion. 

We are using the book “The Darkest Dark” by Chris Hadfield & Kate Fillion (Illustrated by Eric Fan and Terry Fan) and I help you to create a quality time out of the ordinary bedtime. 

In the episode, I talk about small points that you want to study with your child to teach meaningful lessons and get close to each other. 

It can help your and your child’s transition to the sleep time smooth and peaceful.

Do you make pancakes for your child?

Here is a really fun story about pancakes.

Book “Set Sail for Pancakes!” by Tim Kleyn tells a story about a girl and her grandpa going on an adventure to make pancakes.

I love this book not only because it motivates you to make pancakes together with your child but also because it can teach growth mindset. 

The girl and her grandpa in the story shows bravery, problem solving skills and hopes. 

If you want to have a meaningful and connecting pancake time with your child, listen to this episode!
