Tot Spot
Toddlers are essentially a "blank slate"; they are watching, listening, and
learning from the world around them, and absorbing everything, all of which
helps shape the person they will eventually become. You, as a parent, are the
most impressionable person in your tot's life. You are a role model,
constantly imprinting ideas about life into your child. There is a flow to our
children's lives, beginning with the foundation that is created at the crucial
toddler stage. Each new stage of development then builds upon the previous
stage. Never underestimate the influence you have in building the foundation
for your toddler's eventual attitude, ideas, and behaviors in life. In our
"Tot Spot" section, we want to help and support you in what is probably the
most important role you will ever have!

This month's tip:
Here is a great book that you might
want to purchase for your children. The name of the book is:
"ECOLOGY FROM A TO
Z"
and it was written and illustrated by Jacob Angel.
Come join Bobo Darling and
his new friend Irv the turtle in
Ecology From A to Z. On a magical walk, the two take
you on a unique journey through the alphabet in an effort to help raise
awareness about ecology. The book teaches simple solutions to help
protect our planet Earth, in a fun-to-read rhyme that is both
educational and entertaining.
To order your book, go to
http://www.angelsfoodforthought.com/ and $5.00 from each book sale will be
donated to our Spirit Wings Kids Foundation. Please designate in a
memo when you order the book that you want the donation to come to us
and they will take care of it.
