Keys to Kindergarten
by John S. SullivanJohn Sullivan is a parent, grandparent, and former teacher. His book, Keys to Kindergarten, is a timely book for parents, grandparents, and other caregivers on how to ready children for school. Recognizing that the first five years of life have the most influence on the future development of children, he offers reminders that "life is simple when a hug and a bedtime story can make you happy." Sullivan begins by discussing the infant brain and the kinds of environment that help it to develop. He notes the power of curiosity and how to keep it sparking, along with the many ways that parents and grandparents can keep a child safe and healthy in mind, body, and spirit. The importance of reading aloud, talking with the child, and preparing him/her for new adventures in life are all part of the nurturing environment that he describes. "Success at school begins with love at home" is the premise of this useful little book. The book may be ordered through John Sullivan, P.O. Box 440, Westview Station Binghamton, NY 13905.
