Circus Magic- 2 children

Bring  a sibling into her personalised stories. Your child can identify the faces she loves, and that takes her deeper into the story. Your child’s relationship with her own image is like the climbing of a ladder. According to Dr Sears, parents can nudge baby's progress so that she begins to love the tot in the photograph or book. Self-esteem, he says, is "the passport to mental health and (…) happiness." Packing every step of her progress with positive feelings goes a long way towards improving her self-esteem. A personalised childrens book that puts her in the leading role of a book can aid this process. A photo book gives parents a door into communication with tot about the way she sees herself. It emphasises her uniqueness while giving mum and dad an opportunity to speak and bond with her in a way that otherwise wouldn't be possible. The delight a toddler feels at seeing herself as the star of a personalised book is difficult to top. A charmingly illustrated tale grasps her focus, and tells her she's special. When she has the spotlight during personalised story-telling time and mum and dad are on her level, she's more likely to reveal herself. Mum and dad have the chance to help her grow a healthy self-esteem. The resulting growth will serve her throughout her adult life.
