The Parent Resource List
Posted on March 6, 2015 at 6:28 AM |
![]() |
We have a discussion/communication time in every Bradley™ class session. Towards the end of the series, we ask, "What else do you need/want to learn before your Sweet Pea arrives?" Our Winter Class came up with the most varied list that we have had in a long time. There is a lot of information rattling around in my head after parenting and teaching for the last ten years, so I prepared this list for them and sent it out after class. Since the work was done, I also wanted to share it with you. Please leave us a comment if your favorite resource in these categories is not listed. We are always glad to learn about more places that encourage and support growing families. Baby/Toddler/Children’s Food
Baby Massage
Baby Sign Language Note: I personally do not believe in "baby" sign language. ASL is a language, and I believe it should be taught well *and* correctly. We do not change the language we verbally speak, because infants eventually learn how to pronounce words correctly. I passionately believe the same is true for ASL - show your child the correct signs, and they will make their own modifications until they can do it well, and then they will have it as a tool for the rest of their lives.

Bedtime Stories
Posted on September 19, 2012 at 8:34 AM |
![]() |
As the holiday
seasons approach, I start to purge the house of all the extras. I finally got to tackle our shelves of
children’s books and did some sorting that was long overdue. As stacks of books surrounded me, a pile of
bedtime books we have for our children started growing higher and higher. I had not realized how many books we have in
this genre. The books in
the Bedtime Story pile got there because they are centered on the theme of
going to bed or end with a sleeping character.
Some of them are repetitive and calming, which is great to settle and
relax a child. Some of them outline the
routine, and some of the books are all about bedtime and nighttime
adventures. Since the goal is to get
children to sleep, I like to start with one of the action or adventure books to
interest and engage our older children, and then finish with a rhyming or
repetitive word grouping book to calm everyone down. Along with our
book titles, I included books shared on a list of other bedtime stories to
explore that was in “Goodnight Giant”. I
hope you find some new treasures on this list to share with your children, or
maybe you can use this as a shopping guide for the next baby shower or birthday
party you attend. Some online
booksellers offer previews before you buy – great tool for taking a peek at the
titles from the comfort of your home! Happy Reading and Sweet Dreams! Rhyming: Fuzzy Bear's
