Building Self-Esteem Through Literacy

Posted on | by KD Novelties
KD Novelties specializes in children’s personalized books, personalized photo books and other personalized products that help beginning readers get excited about reading and learning. By reading about and seeing themselves in the books they read, kids are more likely to continue reading, continue learning, and build healthy self-esteem.
Learning to read can be difficult, but getting a child to read once they know how can be just as difficult as well. Personalized kids books helps make reading more appealing to children. They can better relate to the story, place themselves within the story, and build essential skills that help them read more complex books as they develop. Children who read and can actively imagine what’s written on the page also have a higher chance of academic success, and not only that, but kids who enjoy reading and read frequently are more likely to develop an affinity for learning that continues throughout their developing and adult lives. 

Kids who read at a young age are more likely to be motivated and independent learners, and by doing so also tend to have a higher self esteem. By learning reading skills at a young age, especially with books that include their own faces, kids are more likely to develop these skills and retain them for life. They build a healthy relationship with reading, learning, and most importantly, themselves.

Ways To Keep Kids Busy During the Holiday Break

Posted on | by KD Novelties

As the holiday season is now over and the kids are at home on break, it can get a little hectic for parents. The appeal of new holiday toys will wear off by the second and third day after Christmas and if you have more than one in the house they will get on each other’s nerves.  Parents say “What Do I Do?”

Well we have compiled a list of things to do to keep your kids busy and out of your hair!

1. Un-Decorate the House

  • The decorations have to come down so you might as well get the kids to help you.  Involve all the kids the younger ones and older ones.  Give them appropriate tasks – smaller children can take down the ornaments at the lower part of the tree,  the older ones on the top, pick up and carry boxes.  Better yet make a competition of it!  See who can take down the most ornaments in 3 minutes or who can pack everything away the fastest.  Not only does it make it fun for them you get your un-decorating tasks done faster!
2. Purge any Old Toys and Clothes to bring in the NEW
  • As most can attest your children simply have too many toys.  Perfect time to get the kids to look through their toys and see if there is anything broken or have missing pieces that can be tossed out.  They can go through toys that they are no longer playing with and teach them to be charitable at the same time.  They can donate to less fortunate children, a childcare center or shelter.  It helps them keep busy while cleaning and helping others.  You can’t get better than that!
3. Write Gift Thank-You Notes
  • They can write their notes all at once or over the course of several days.  What would be even better if they take a picture of their gift and send the note via snail mail or electronically.  You can even top that suggestion with a video of them saying thank you featured with their gift, which will create even more excitement for the kids and bring a smile to the gift giver.
4. Let the Kids Go Outside
  • Bottled up in the house will make them go crazy.  Yes it’s cold in some parts of the United States or snowy but let them go outside.  Kids are okay as long as they are bundled up and if it’s snowing, even better.  The endless possibilities of games and things to do in the snow is unbelievable.  If it’s warmer where you are located hiking, biking or even visiting the park can give them and yourself a break too.
5. READ

  • Take time and read with your kids.  If they are older set apart some time in the day where everyone drops everything and read.  If they got new books for the holidays they can start reading those or visit the local library and pick up some books. Kids usually don’t want anything associated with school and reading is one of them but make it fun and interactive.  Act out character voices, dress the part, or make a play from the story.  The goal is to get them excited about reading.  
How can I get them excited about reading you say?  We can help in this area.  We have personalized kids books where children become the star of their very own story which will get them excited about reading.  Our kids books far outweigh traditional books because children read about themselves and not about others in the stories.  Our books range from birth to about 12 years of age and we have books for both boys and girls.  Check out our large library at www.KDNovelties.com.
