Resources and Links
he Storybook Center believes the most
important teachers children will ever have are their parents and family.
Sometimes parents need help to provide
their children with the opportunity to reach their full potential. On
this page we will be posting suggestions, websites, and other resources we
feel will support and enhance parents' efforts with their children.
Sometimes the best 'resource' is right
in front of our faces. Our Storybook Center parents are a friendly,
outgoing 'family', quick to provide assistance, open and generous with one
another, and empathetic and supportive. Each one of them is a
good friend - and a very good resource - to turn to when the need arises.
Our Storybook newsletter is another
good resource for information. Our Picks and Pans section highlights
places and/or things other parents recommend be tried or avoided. It
also usually has at least one article on child behavior, and, more recently,
offers favored, proven child-friendly recipes.
Storybook parents interested in
learning more about how to deal with their children have access to our
parent Resources Library located in the reception area. Books and DVDs may
be checked out at no cost to current families.
For more 'structured' support or
advice, consider Parent Coaching.
