KidCash
Many of our Kids do great with rewards and Lisa Chin, founder of KidCash LLC, is trying a new way for parents and children to see eye to eye. KidCash helps to get the child’s attention by rewarding good behavior with realistic looking “cash” that can be exchanged for device time, activities, sweets or put into savings. KidCash also allows parents to have a “daily review” to form a habit of face-to-face communication.
Please Explain “TERRORISM” To Me!
Explain J J This book helps children and parents face a critical, often avoided topic with reassurance and calm. Using everyday situations, and with masterful understanding of the child’s world, new and frightening concepts are introduced carefully and gently, with the child’s perspective in mind. Dr. Zelinger’s P-E-A-R-L-S of Wisdom section (Prepare, Explain, Answer, Reassure, Listen, Safeguard) also gives caregivers scripts to guide them.
