Today, after I’ve read some appetite suppressant reviews, I went to check some parenting articles about positive discipline online.
And boy I found a mine! If ound a lot of good reads. And one of these is Jane Nelsen’s blog, Positive Discipline with Dr. Jane Nelsen. I love some of the topics she tackled in her blog. I’ve actually seen some answers to the questions I have. I also saw that she has published plenty of books already and as I type this, I’m making a mental note that when I get the time, I’ll check if some copies are available in our local bookstore.
Oh btw, here’s the link to Jane Nelsen’s blog: http://blog.positivediscipline.com/.
Some months ago, I was able to “witness” the scissors work of a 7-year old ( a son of my officemate). My son hasn’t learned to cut paper on his own then. I was already so amazed even at his not too perfect cuts then.
Looking back, I can only smile. Know why? Because without bias, I can fairly say that in a couple of months I can see my son (who will be 4 by then) doing the same work as that 7-year old kid. No kidding. And I say that without being biased and with much conviction because I trust his capability like I trust my favorite anti wrinkle cream.
My son has yet to refine his cutting skills but he has already learned to cut fairly well - and on his own. Thanks to this book:
Yes, thanks to this workbook. Indeed, the Let’s Cut Paper! workbook with it’s fun-filled pages, of colorful pictures, has helped my son learn the necessary control skill for cutting i.e holding the scissors properly, stopping on corners and following cutting lines. And because the learning system is a step-by-step process, it won’t be frustrating for kids to learn a new skill.
He’s actually got less than 5 pages to do on this workbook before he gets his completion certificate and I must say that his cutting skill has tremendously improved from Day 1 with this book. It still needs a lot of polishing but he’s already on his way to do that.
Before I get to my review, please take time to visit Blue Cross North Carolina for medical and health plans.
Books are fun. Books are great. Books are helpfuI.
How can I live without them?
My latest craze - if you can call it that- is a series of self-help books for parents called the Last Straw Strategies by Michelle Kennedy. I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for finding these great books that offer advices, tips and tricks on how to deal with babies, toddler and growing children. Each book in the series tackles on one specific problem are i.e sleeping, crying, jealousy, etc… The books are really a great source of practical advices and tips in handling kids coming from parents and grandparents.
The book I’m currently reading now is the one for manners and it’s really informative and practical. I treasure this one a lot because at the moment, I am teaching my kid about good manners to be observed at home and in public places.
