This is a great site and great service. My daughter works with pre-school kids and this is really perfect for them. The video is definitely something she could use. I will pass along your site to her, I have no doubt she will use it for her kids. I reviewed your other reading pages and they are very good, a perfect tool for anyone working with young kids.
Thanks for sharing Al! I appreciate your feedback. 🙂
Dr. Suess is fun to read no matter what age. Your nephew is lucky to have you as his Auntie.
The daughter-in-law has a weighted blanket and it helps her sleep. It lessens her anxiety. A child wrapped in a weighted blanket should feel more comfortable. The blankets are soft and fun to cuddle. The designs available for children are fun: penguin, rabbits, giraffe, and more. Knowing how to choose the right weight is important. Thank you for sharing these ideas for making our children more comfortable.
Thank you for the kind words Sharon!
