From the Author

This book was written for the average parent. It is so "parent friendly" that any parent can open it up and say "I can do that with my kid!" This book is for any parent who has a child between the ages of birth and 10 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars I CAN Do That!, March 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: I Can Do That With My Kid: Family Activities That Encourage Reading, Writing, Communicating and a Positive Self-Esteem (Paperback)

I love this book because it is practical and user friendly. The organization of the book allows you to complete an activity with your family without stress. I read the entire book and then placed tabs on the activities I wanted to do immediately with my family. This was easily done because the activities are clear and have simple examples to follow. Another bonus to the book format is that a parent can easily understand the learning principles that go with each activity. This books gives a parent the tools needed to expose their child to the wonderful world of reading.

This review is from: I Can Do That With My Kid: Family Activities That Encourage Reading, Writing, Communicating and a Positive Self-Esteem (Paperback)

Much of what Dr. Kehlbeck has to teach us can be summarized in one simple sentence: When raising your children, stay focused on the job at hand.

I CAN DO THAT WITH MY KID! will ably assist you in preparing your children for kindergarten & beyond. It shows you dozens of ways to coach them with their natural need to practice eye-hand-mind coordination, as well as their social skills. Both as necessary to your children's growth & well-being, as toilet training, & learning what their responsibilities are around the home.

Every parent needs all the help they can get, & I CAN DO THAT WITH MY KID! is a thorough & fun-filled resource. Not only does it teach you new "games" to play with your children - remember we humans learn by playing "games" or practicing what grownups are doing - it also teaches us how to enjoy family life, & life with our children, without spending a fortune on classy toys or resorting to the one-eyed babysitters - tv, videos & computers.

A good book not only for parents - consider giving your favorite babysitter, nanny & grandparents copies - so you're all on the same page, is it were!
