Hands are not for hitting
This is one of those gems that nearly every preschool classroom we see has in the book corner, and yet many of us parents don't know of it. Teachers have clearly figured out that one of the most effective way to deal with a little one who can't yet help but take out his anger or frustration on the nearest somebody or something is to give him something else to do with his hands. Talking it out is great, but if your child isn't exactly ready for that (at least not in the heat of the moment), then maybe clapping it out or drawing it out or counting it out or waving it out is the way to go. Let this positive, encouraging book give you -- and much more importantly, your child -- some ideas, and then be prepare to feel like an insider when you see it work on the playground!Read more »

Magnetic Calendar
Preschool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Gymnastics on Tuesday, playdate on Thursday. And don't forget the birthday party on Saturday. The schedule of a mere three-year-old can sometimes be too much for a mommy-brain much less a preschool-brain to keep track of. And yet, preschoolers are of the age where they are learning not only to remember and recount the events of the past but also to anticipate future glories, like a birthday party, or a visit to the dentist. If your child is waking up every morning asking, "what are we doing today?" then this appealing magnetic calendar may be just the thing. Most preschoolers love magnets to begin with, so on the basis of its 139 illustrated magnets alone, this item is sure to be popular. There is one for every activity and holiday you can think of, and if some are not relevant to your family's routine, it is easy enough to restyle them. The calendar is undated, so with each new month, your kids can help you renumber the days and map out their fun-filled little futures. Read more »
