As a parent, you truly are your child's first and most influential teacher. Everything you say and do affects your child. Small choices you make every day send strong messages to him or her, and also have an impact upon the world around you.
One of the greatest gifts you can give to your child is the time you spend reading together. Not even a reading teacher can instill a love of reading like a parent can. Here you will find recommendations for children's books, with illustrations and messages so beautiful, that you will find yourself reading them over and over again. Picture books are not only for preschoolers anymore. If you take a trip to your local library or book store, you'll see that many of these books (particularly the nonfiction ones) are suitable for late elementary, and even middle school students! It's never too late to start reading with your child, no matter what type of book it may be.
Even though children's books are the main focus of Moms Inspire Learning, my goal is to share any and all resources that will make it easier for busy moms to make informed choices every day. These resources may include, but are not limited to: inspirational books for moms, healthy recipes and/or cookbooks, helpful web sites, green product links, and of course, general parenting and teaching tips.
I truly believe that mothers have the power to change the world, one house at a time, simply by making informed choices. Small steps can make a big difference!
