My books are true stories. My goal is to convey life lessons and inspiration to young children. Children are brilliant and, although they come with much to teach, they require guidance on how to love themselves, be kind to others, learn accountability to develop a strong moral compass, navigate our world, and make it a better place because they are here in it. Parents are the first teachers and what parents model is conveyed to and reflected in the children whom God has entrusted to them.

The student is four years old. Initially, she was unable to sit for 10 seconds. Tensions were eased by breaking the ice with the song, "Shake My Sillies Out," by Raffi, and later, "The Freeze," by Greg and Steve, which became the opening and closing songs for each session. She began learning her consonant sounds at the end of March. The parent was given the first lesson, which is consonant name and sounds. Consonant sounds take the longest time to learn and depends on the child's attention span, consistency, schedules, and life's daily challenges. Mastering consonant name and sounds, by use of the "Interval Study" method, which involves studying 5 - 10-minute intervals throughout the day and writing her lessons in her journal daily was the recommended lesson strategy. The student met with the teacher for assessments and lesson updates.

May 22. NOT TODAY. In this video, we had and unexpected interruption. However, I found it crucial to the journey and a necessary addition. Just like adults, children sometimes aren't in the mood to study. It's perfectly fine to set it aside and come back to it later or the next day. Similarly, if a parent is feeling short-tempered, it's best to pause the lesson and return to it at another time.
