A great time to start thinking about introducing fairy tales to children is around the ages of four to six-years-old. Fairy tales, like Cinderella and the Three Little Pigs, are wonderful classic stories with humorous as well as scary elements. Around the age of four, children begin to appreciate fantasy in books as they start to distinguish between what is real and what is “just a story.”

These stories have been told over many generations and in various forms. Dr. Kessler recommends reading different variations of well known fairy tales in order to keep the story interesting and to tell it from different points of view. For example, The Wolf’s Tale

is a version of Little Red Riding Hood, told from the wolf’s perspective. These variations often add humor and are important in helping children see there are multiple sides to the story.

by Margaret Wise Brown (by the same author who wrote Goodnight Moon

) which handles the subject of death in an appropriate way for young children. Books like The Dead Bird, often do not tell how to handle a similar situation directly, but rather provide children with a sense that their situation is shared with other children. Books that describe experiences common to children also help to open up dialogue between parents and children.

Many parents come in to Dr. Kessler’s book store wanting to find a book to help a child feel more comfortable with a novel situation, like what happens on the first day or school or when parents divorce. Also, parents often want to find books that will help dissuade children from doing bad behaviors, like bullying.

Dr. Kessler stresses that books that discuss experiences common to children are important to share with your child. Reading books like these provide an opportunity to talk with your child about your concerns, however, remember they cannot change behavior on their own.

Dr. Kessler recommends looking at the Curious George series of books for good ways to talk about experiences that may be new and/or scary for children. This series offers a number of experiences that children go through, like going to the doctor, getting glasses, and the first day of school.

But it isn’t long before they put the pieces together. When your child is about nine months to one year old, you’ll see a real explosion of exciting new behavior:

• Your child will start to pay attention to what you’re paying attention to — even when it’s not her! Watch her check your face to see where you’re looking.
• Your child will actively direct your attention to objects around you. She’ll hold toys up to show them to you, and may even point to things that she wants you to notice. There are lots of games you can play with pointing. Name the things she points out to you, then point something new out to her while you say its name. When you read books together, point to pictures as you talk about them. Books with animal pictures are fun for this: both of you can make animal noises and point out the animal that goes with the noise.
• As she gets a little older, your child will start to imitate your interactions with the objects around you. Now you can show your child how a toy works and watch her learn from your demonstration. Show how to stack blocks, roll a ball, put things in a box and take them out again, cuddle a teddy bear, open a book, turn a page. Be ready, though — your child may be more interested in imitating the way you use your remote control and your cell phone!

Many parents are interested in finding a book that teaches their child the alphabet. However, how good are these books? In talking with Dr. Jane Kessler she recommends parents look for a book that makes the experience worthwhile and really engages the child. Dr. Kessler recommends to parents looking for an alphabet book A Is For Africa by Michael Samulak; illustrated by Sswaga Sendiba. This book is more than just exposure to the alphabet, but also builds rich vocabulary. In addition, this particular book has beautiful illustrations as well as interesting facts that really make the experience of reading come alive. In looking for a good alphabet book for young children, finding books that offer rhythmic phrases, colorful pictures, and interesting facts will not only expose your child to letters but also enhance their language development.

Children in their first year will amaze you with the way they get ever more sophisticated at paying attention to things and people. As these skills expand, the kinds of interaction you can have with them, and the kind of games they can play, will open up tremendously. Here are some fun things for new parents to notice and look forward to:

• Babies smile more when adults are looking at them than when they’re turned away. They’re especially likely to smile in the first few seconds after an adult meets their eyes. If your baby’s in a smiley mood, you can try to get even more smiles by turning away and turning back.
• Of course very young infants do things to get adults’ attention, as anyone who’s been woken in the middle of the night by a baby’s cries knows. But once they’re around seven or eight months old, children start to elicit particular kinds of attention from the people around them.

• The Mysteries of Pittsburgh dvd

Show her how much you like it, and she’ll clown and show off for your entertainment, putting on a one-baby show!

Dr. Kessler recommends parents begin to read to children as early as infancy. Board books are great for infants through two years of age. The sturdy construction of the book allows infants and children to be rough with these books with little damage done to the pages. The inflexible, thick pages also make it easier for beginning readers to turn the pages while you read together. During reading time, having children turn the pages helps them feel like they have some control and it promotes a sense that they are reading along with you.

by Eric Carle. Children truly love this book because as they get older they can soon memorize it and anticipate what happens next. Also, the illustrations in the book are very colorful and grab children’s attention. In addition, the written story is very rhythmical, which helps children learn the story and engage with the book.

• Consider vocabulary—It’s also important to look at the language used in the book. Children crave learning and understanding new words and ideas. Books that can expose children to new words can help expand their vocabulary and keep them interested in reading.
• Check out the illustrations—In addition to vocabulary, illustrations are also very important. Parents can use the pictures in books to help expand ideas in the story and promote understanding. Parents can also help children focus on the story by asking questions about the illustrations like, “what do you see”?
• Any lessons learned? Books that compare ideas are often interesting to young children and teach important lessons. Look for books that introduce simple concepts like how things grow and that compare and contrast ideas like big-little or brave-scared. Books that describe and compare ideas are also presenting new information to children which make them very popular among young, curious thinkers.
• Is it interesting? Finally, it is important to look at the content and see if it matches your child’s interests. As a parent, flip through the book and see how you can expand the reading experience for your child.
