Using Picture Books to Help Little Ones Learn About Themselves

Looking to connect with your young child in a meaningful way while tackling some of the most difficult quandaries of parenting? This book explores the profound impact that reading to children can have on their development while addressing concerns that all parents have about their developing children.

Co-authors Dr. Lin Lim and Gayle Bentley, both experts in the fields of gifted and twice-exceptionality, gently guide the reader through simple, science-backed methods and examples of children’s picture books which help parents address topics with their children like worry, perfectionism, and managing “big feelings”, as well as helping them develop empathy, self-regulation, and self-acceptance. All of this is artfully accomplished by sharing their own parental stories and what worked for them and their families, using a strengths-based approach to bring out the very best in their children - and yours!
