I'm a school director. And for parents and teachers who are sailing along, these little activities may add another playful dimension to your relationships with your children. The little ones in my school LOVE these rituals. For parents struggling with their kids, I recommend these to help the heart connections that get lost in the struggle.

What a wonderful child you are. The teacher was singing the book's version of Twinkle Twinkle Little star. Talented person from head to feet. I like this book for all of my kids (1, 2 and 3yrs old).

All of our kids have had totally "normal" experiences in life and still respond really well to the book. It simply gives ideas on ways to engage with your kids in a fun and loving way. Where the book advises on that, it is not the focus. I purchased this book after sitting in on one of my 3yr old daughter's preschool classes. "Twinkle, twinkle little star. With bright eyes and nice round cheeks. Who wouldn't.

I am addicted to the hearty giggles these nursery rhymes bring out in my kids.p.s. I found it so refreshing. Etc, etc." I wanted to see more. for what it is worth, I am a part-time pediatrician and this is a book I would recommend to families as a professional also. Some of the reviews talk about how this is only for kids who have experienced trauma.

I made a little book with the rhymes to help me remember them and he asks me to read them over and over. The little rhymes in this book are really engaging. I've been using them with my son who has been feeling neglected even since my 4 month old came home from the hospital. I enjoyed the book because there's a lot of positive and helpful information on parenting, the importance of these little rituals and suggestions on when to use them which has been really helpful for me. He loves it.

Becky Bailey has done a beautiful job giving creativity and connection where I lack the imagination. Excellent. Games and activities that really capture your and your children's hearts.

My children just adore the I Love You Rituals that we do. Even if we are at a crowded place and we can't hear each other, the I Love You Rituals come in quite handy.
