Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I orderer this book because I am currently a high school teacher with little experience with small children. I am a first time mom with a very busy two year old. Because I love planning and I understand that children of all ages need a fairly structured day, I was looking for a book that would help me better understand what a two year old would like to do and give me a daily, weekly or monthly plan to follow. The book is broken up into months and then into weeks. For instance, July has a heavy focus on our country's birth in the first week and then it moves you and your cherub to other summertime activities. The author seems to enjoy tradition, hands-on activities and themes for the entire month. She provides some good ideas and a parent can expand the ideas to suit their needs. As a teacher, I fully understand how important it is to create "lesson plans" for our children, that it's important to keep a scheduled day and that reading and singing need to be a big part of it all. Jan Brennan has reminded me of all the songs I used to sing from my childhood and she has a very extensive list of books to read to your child (I haven't checked yet, but I'm sure one could get the books at your local library or from Amazon.com!). With Brennan's help, I am looking forward to getting our day ready the night before and collecting supplies on Sunday before the week starts. My teaching days are far from over!
