Top 10 Reasons why a personalized children’s book is better than a traditional children’s book

  1. Builds self-esteem and encourages reading
  2. Children read about themselves in their very own special book and not about other characters
  3. They become part of the story and take part in the adventures in each storyline
  4. Every child wants to be recognized for doing something really special and in our personalized books they either join their favorite super hero in saving the day, help save animals from a storm and many more heroic actions
  5. They get to include friends and family members in their own story
  6. Any milestone or event in a child’s life (for example they just visited the zoo, went on a camping trip, is taking ballet lessons, loves sports, learning their numbers or ABCs, first day at school, loves tea parties); we have books to meet every special occasion or milestone. Purchasing a book reinforces what they are already doing and best of all they are part of it!
  7. Seeing their face light up when they hear their name in the story
  8. Treasured keepsake these personalized books are kept as memories and never given away or sold
  9. Their photo is included (in our personalized photo books) on the cover and throughout the pages in the story with their personalized information. You can’t get any more personalized than this!
  10. Personalized gifts are more treasured by the recipient than traditional gifts. Who doesn’t want a gift with their name on it?
  11. We know we said ten reasons but we couldn’t resist the 11th!

  12. You will be the best loved parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend, sibling, babysitter, or Godparents in the whole world for giving that special little one their very own special book created especially for them!

Talked Out of Tantrums

A new study in the Early Childhood Research Quarterly states that reading to your kids may help keep them from throwing fits.

Researchers measured toddlers’ spoken vocabulary and self-regulation and the ability to control behavior and emotions.

Increased vocabulary especially at 24 months serves as a strong predictor of self-regulation. Especially in boys since they’re extra-vulnerable to self control problems to begin with.

The increased vocabulary leads kids to voice their thoughts and to take charge of their situation instead of growing frustrated. It makes sense since smaller children that can not talk will throw a tantrum because they can not express what they want or need!

The research led to kids that had a boost from thinking and communicating in words resulted in tantrums being dramatically reduced.

Therefore if your child throws tantrums READ to them more and help them build their vocabulary!

Check out my previous post on the blog (scroll down) on teaching your child to read and the method I used with my daughter. Not only does this method work it builds vocabulary as well which are the key indicators in this research.

Good Luck!
