Research on brain development has shown that any attempt to maximize intellectual growth must begin the first three years of life; the younger the child, the stronger the effect. Beginning education at age five is too late! The new, large (8 ½ x 11 inch), 352-page 4th edition of SLOW AND STEADY GET ME READY includes 260 weekly, age-appropriate developmental activities that are easy to understand and do. This unique book is your answer to early childhood education and now contains updated illustrations, Measurable Parameters To Profile Child Development, Tips For Solving Behavioral Dilemmas, The Early Brain and Important Points. SLOW AND STEADY GET ME READY is a highly recommended early childhood developmental parenting resource that tells you when, how and what skills to develop, provides an inexpensive phonetic approach for reading and spelling, contains a complete readiness curriculum full of ideas, enriches the parent child bond with close interaction and develops preschool skills, painlessly and in proper order. It only takes only about ten minutes for each activity. This wonderful, helpful book now provides an easy, cost-saving method to measure the progress of a child to determine when the child should be ready for kindergarten. A simple checklist guide of developmental characteristics has proven to be a useful tool for parents and childcare providers to monitor progress by observation for children from birth to age five. This guide is useful for parents, teachers, Head Start, etc., because there is little paper work – just a checklist. SLOW AND STEADY GET ME READY was divinely inspired and is based upon Mark 9:36-37. Jesus taught his disciples to welcome children. This was a new approach in a society where children were usually treated as second-class citizens. Unfortunately, children are often still regarded as second-class citizens around the world. We hope that by interacting with them closely in an appropriate manner, as recommended in this book, parents will realize children are their most precious asset and will treat them accordingly. This valuable, but inexpensive, resource has been found to be useful for children with special needs (e.g., autism, learning disabilities, Down’s Syndrome, etc.). SLOW AND STEADY GET ME READY is an inexpensive book that provides 5 years of activities at approximately a penny a day! The best thing to spend on your child is your time!

 Rating:  - Good Resource for BabyThis book is a good resource of activities to do with baby. Some of the activities are beyond baby's abilties but overall the book offers activities that baby gets excited about, and are very engaging. I feel its a good buy! Rating: - Starts early and keeps goingThis book has a wide range of activities that use common household items. My daughter is developmentally delayed and this book really helps with ideas to hone her fine and gross motor as well as cognitive skills. There are many "toys" she will play with daily, even after that week has gone by. Rating:  - Start Educating Your Child EarlyChildren who come from homes where parents realize the importance of educating them before they start school are so much more successful and happy in the school experience. This has some great ideas for just that. Two other books that are invaluable for teaching a love for reading and actual reading skills (using the parent guide) early on- ages 3 and up to age 8 areLife's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail. Rating:  - Good basic idea, some activities are way offI love the idea of this book, and some of the activities are perfectly age appropriate and I enjoy doing. Others are so off-base I can hardly believe it. For example: When your baby is about 10 1/2 months old, you are supposed to put 3 objects in front of her, tell her the names of them, try to get the baby to say the object's name, and then ask for one of the objects and have the baby hand it to you. On a good day, an 18 month old should be able to do that! At 10 1/2 months, a baby is just ... Read More Rating: - great ideasThis book is full of great ideas with activities for all toddlers. I especially like the activites for 12 months and older. I am a stay at home mom of two and sometimes get lost for new ideas. I have turned to the book several times and the kids love the activities!
