5 out of 5 stars Easy and fun activities .......2007-10-05

While this book is especially helpful for families with children with sensory processing disorder (SPD), all children will enjoy these creative ideas. The summary of different types of SPD at the beginning is useful to show other family members and friends who want to understand your child better.

5 out of 5 stars Fun activities for each sense.......2007-08-21

This book has great activities for kids! It was helpful to find information and ideas to help my kids. You just look up the sense and go have some fun.Meghan's World: The Story of One Girl's Triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder

5 out of 5 stars Great book so far.......2007-07-20

I am just starting to read this book but so far, I love it. I love reading the mother's and therapist's notes. I think they give you such good ideas that come from experience. The activities are clear and resources are always offered.

5 out of 5 stars Great Resource for Parents and Teachers.......2007-05-29

The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun is a great resource for parents and teachers. As a teacher of special needs kids, I'm always looking for materials to share with parents, and this one is really meeting the need. Ms. Kranowitz knows her topic. Her ideas for simple, fun activities that teach are easy to follow. This is a book I will use over and over again.

4 out of 5 stars review.......2007-05-13

This book is a must have to go along with The Out of Sync Child. It gives you some ideas on how to help your child be a kid despite having sensory issues. Good book for parents of autistic children.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT babyshower gift........2007-06-27

Newborns and 4 year olds all love these books. I give them to all of my friends as a baby shower gift.

4 out of 5 stars We <3 Karen Katz.......2007-05-16

These are, hands down, our daughter's favorite books. She enjoys them over and over. The illustrations are bright and cute -- highly recommend these books -- especially the lift the flap -- she LOVES them.

5 out of 5 stars Baby's Box of Fun.......2007-05-13

I purchased this book set for my grandson when he was 12 months old. Listening to books is the only time he actually sits still. His favorite book was Toes, Ears, & Nose although he likes all the books because they are interactive. The only problem with the books is if he is left unsupervised or even when holding him, he rips off the flaps in the books. We have had to glue them back on numerous times. I would highly recommend these books but you must be careful with babies that are aggressively interactive with the books.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!.......2007-03-28

This item was received as a gift and my 2 yr old loves her lift the flaps books. Her favorite out of this collection is "Where is Mommy". I have also purchased them for my friends children and they love them.

1 out of 5 stars Never received mine, bought from 'oktrbks'.......2007-01-05

I bought this from 'oktrbks' and never received.
Contacted the seller and was asked if I want another copy so I said 'yes'
I have not received this yet. I was waiting for this because I believed the seller will send me an another copy. But now It's been more than 90 days so I can not even get my money back.
Not a big money but doesn't feel good at all about the seller's feedback.
Will see if the seller will contact me about this item or not.
I sent an memo to seller today again.

2 out of 5 stars helpful, but..........2007-04-25

I highly recommend the book "The Highly Sensitive Child" by Elaine Aron to get a different perspective (more positive) on the out of sync child.

5 out of 5 stars The Out of Sync Child has fun.......2006-11-03

This is an excellent book for teachers and parents! It provides useful and very important information to work and deal with kids with sensory integration disorder

4 out of 5 stars Very useful book.......2006-08-08

As a teacher I found that this book had many fun and functional activities. I do wish this book had more activities for older (teenage) students with moderate to severe disabilities; but, a great book overall.

5 out of 5 stars Best Book for Sensory Integration out there!!.......2006-03-10

I *LOVED* this book. It was such a quick read that I got through it in two days, *with* two kids underfoot, but there certainly was no lack in valuable content to read. This has transformed the way that I understand and work with my daughter, and she has had a diagnosis for sensory integration disorder for years! I reccommend this to *any* parent, even those without sensory kids....

5 out of 5 stars Best resource for activities I've found!.......2006-03-03

I found this book very helpful for use in my field as a social worker who works with children and adolescents, not just with sensory issues, but across a wide spectrum of issues. This book offers MANY activities targeting children of all ages and with diverse interests, and I have also found it helpful to recommend to parents as options for activities to entertain their kids with!

Book Description

Have you ever cringed at the sight of your four-year-old waltzing through the neighbor’s front door without an invitation? Have you ever had to call to apologize when your six-year-old forgot to thank his grandmother for the birthday gift she so lovingly sent? How about the formal dinner for Dad’s promotion when your ten-year-old decided that she didn’t like the meal she’d ordered, and then refused to eat a thing—making for an uncomfortable evening for you, the other guests, and the waiter? As a parent, you’ve probably experienced these and many more instances when it seemed that your children had forgotten their manners completely, leaving you frazzled and embarrassed.

Sheryl Eberly’s 365 Manners Kids Should Know gives clever and insightful advice for the myriad of situations where consideration counts, but is sometimes forgotten. Using her smart one-manner-a-day format, parents, grandparents, and even aunts and uncles can find practical ways to teach basic manners, such as:

* How to address elders when being introduced
* How to write a thank-you note
* The polite way to answer the telephone
* How to accept and decline an invitation
* What is expected at formal occasions such as weddings, funerals, and religious services

Full of role-playing exercises, games, and other activities that parents can do with their children, 365 Manners Kids Should Know helps parents and other caregivers understand not only what manners to teach, but also how—and at what ages—to present them. Most important, 365 Manners Kids Should Know makes learning manners fun.

3 out of 5 stars Practical and Helpful.......2007-07-26

This book was practical and specific and covered many topics that parents may fail to address, but need to be reminded of for instilling manners in their chldren.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Comprehensive Guide.......2007-05-24

365 Manners Kids Should Know is the best comprehensive guide to children's manners I've found. The calendar entries are arranged under 23 sections, among them "Getting Along With Other Kids," "Table Manners Made Easy," and "Be a Guest and Host." This is a parent's book, meant to be used as a teaching guide, perhaps read to the child one entry per day, though I think it would be more useful to focus on certain sections when approaching an event: "Gifts--Giving and Getting" when attending or hosting a party; "Vacation Time" before taking off somewhere. Practical activities are sprinkled throughout the text, such as helping your child read the movie page in the newspaper, or making a card to celebrate a friend's religious holiday. The tone is cordial but businesslike, with none of the false gaiety so common to books on children's manners. What's more, I found entries I haven't found in other books such as acknowledging another's presence when s/he enters the room; giving compliments; and positive use of humor. The writer runs her own company presenting manners instruction seminars to children, young adults, and businesspeople. Her instructions show empathy for all parties involved, for the "others" with whom the child will be associating, and for the child himself.

5 out of 5 stars Awsome book!.......2007-04-27

This is a great book for both kids and adults. You can learn so much from itand whats even greater is that its a day by day book. you could read one page oryou can even skip around like I do and it shows you some great activities to do wih your kids to encourage their good manners. This book talks about manners for both young kids all the way through young adulthood. Its very simple to understand and fun to read! I recommend this book for everyone.

3 out of 5 stars Can be useful.......2007-04-25

First the positive. This book has a lot of ideas about manners, teaching manners. There is enough in this book to fill up a years worth of lessons (obviously).

The problems with this book is that many of the manners are broken down into tiny tiny parts and these parts are spread through out the book. For example, it might teach you how to address men (Mr.) one day and then a week later teach you how to address women who are married (Mrs.)

This gives it a feeling of being disorganized because each part of a manner is broken down and it is spread through out the book, rather than being in one place.

If you are considering buying this book I'd suggest this is one you want to look at and see if it provides what you want in a manner you can use.
The children and I refer to this book but for the most part it sits on the shelf unusued.

2 out of 5 stars Disorganized.......2007-01-10

I bought this book on a recommendation and was disappointed. Most of the content is decent, but it is poorly laid out and not user friendly.

Book Description

This workbook, based on a wide-ranging ten-year clinical study of anger and children by experts in the field, uses enjoyable games and exercises to teach the three critical components of parenting an angry child. The first component explores the concept of good parenting and how to recognize and resolve excess emotional baggage from the past that perpetuates the problem. The second shows how to understand, recognize, and deal with the anger a child expresses, and offers parents a base from which to teach anger management skills. The third component addresses how to listen without reacting to a child's anger, how to find practical alternatives to anger, and how to resolve this difficult emotion within the family structure. Illustrations, charts and tables are included.

Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Not for everyone.......2007-05-30

While the activities in this book may work for some people, I myself was put off by the often patronizing and otherwise corny tone. The focus of the book is on the entire family, which may be helpful for people with more dysfunctional family relationships. Even though I consider our family to have its share of "dysfunction," I couldn't relate our family to the six types of FAT or "Family Affective Themes," which sounded interesting to begin with but found nothing seemed to match up with the stated results or really make any sense as far as our family is concerned, therefore I questioned the validity of whether these categories are theoretical or oversimplified and whether they work in reality. If you believe your child's angry outbursts are the result of imitating behaviors learned at home then this book might be a good choice. As for our family, where the anger in one of our children seemed really "out of left field," the book that helped us is The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children by Ross W. Greene, which takes the perspective that angry explosive outbursts are triggered by an inability to handle changes and a tendency to become easily frustrated, comparing the deficit in these skills to more commonly understood "lags" in abilities such as reading or athletics. We also liked the workbook A Volcano in My Tummy: Helping Children to Handle Anger : A Resource Book for Parents, Caregivers and Teachers by Eliane Whitehouse and Warwick Pudney, which offers simple anger-related activities and advice for parents and teachers in a more straightforward and less condescending way.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT.......2007-02-28

THis book helped not only me understand my child more, but understand myself and my ex-husband more. Me and my ex-husbands girlfriend got together for my 8 yr old daughter's well-being and are starting a family out-speak night with this book. I can't wait to see how it goes! I've already used some of the techniques in the book and THEY WORK!!! If you have a child that is acting out...This is the bok to buy!

Book Description

52 playful and easy to understand activites to hhelp parents teach children moral lessons that they won't forget

A child says, "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand." 10-Minute Life Lessons for Kids is a book about seeing and doing--a book that gives parents the ability to teach the powerful principles of honesty, trust, generosity, love, and other values. Children will discover the objectives themselves as they actively participate in fun games and activities.

The games can be done in any order, with very little planning and with very few supplies--just common objects most people have around the house like toothpicks, string, pennies, or an apple. Some can be done while riding in the car, and others can be expanded to fill a whole evening with family fun. The activities in 10-Minute Life Lessons for Kids will not only create cozy and enjoyable moments of family togetherness, they will have a lasting impact on your growing child.

5 out of 5 stars Great Choice for Teaching Kids Values!!.......2007-05-29

I love this book, it is easy to follow and has fun entertaining was to teach kids values.

3 out of 5 stars For parents, not educators.......2007-04-25

I was hoping this book would be a useful resource for developing supplemental activities for an elementary-level (K-5) curriculum on non-violence and conflict resolution. But it is really geared toward parents (as the title indicates), not educators. The activities and required materials are suitable for an interpersonal setting, not really for the average classroom or after school programs. I found that 104 Activities That Build: Self-Esteem, Teamwork, Communication, Anger Management, Self-Discovery, Coping Skills by Alanna Jones, was more useful for my needs/goals.

5 out of 5 stars It was great.......2006-11-16

It was very helpful and the activities were really only 10 minues long, at max.

5 out of 5 stars Good Topic Selection.......2006-11-10

There are quite a few important topics to choose from. Seems to start good conversation with the children. (Ages 9-13)

5 out of 5 stars Ten minutes that could affect a lifetime!.......2006-03-29

This is an interesting and useful book. It provides a wide range of activities to use with children to help them learn about themselves and understanding others. Many of the activities offer ways to accommodate for older or younger audiences, and some are specific to ages. The range of topics addressed is rather inclusive, and the activities are designed to appeal to all types of learners (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). The activities offer a creative approach to each topic, and are nice springboards for deeper discussions. I am certain this book will be utilized both in my home and in my classroom!

5 out of 5 stars Good Reference Book.......2007-05-10

When our family decided to go camping this year, I felt a little bit overwhelmed with the idea that my 5 year old son would not have anything to do. I went on line and bought several books about camping with children and found that this was my most helpful It not only covers the basics like making a fire and food preparation but also the fun side of camping like the games and sing alongs. It gave me a refresher course on camping and at the same time opened up the door to have some camping fun! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has children. I can't wait until we go on our trip next month. This book has given me so many ideas that I know my son will not be bored.

5 out of 5 stars A lot of information.......2006-08-30

This book gave a lot of information and ideas. We liked using it!

5 out of 5 stars Sweet As.......2004-07-23

I recieved this book in the mail... Then used it two hours later that is how useful it was for me... If I could give it 10 stars I would. It is written in a way that is easy to understand so that if you wanted to give it to a child you could, yet it is comprehensive enough for an adult... I would rate this as a good use of my money...

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2003-02-22

I just bought this recently, and it is much better than I even expected. I have a bunch of camping books in my library, and this one is better than many more expensive adult books. It has great advice even for adults, but is indespensible for camping with kids. It teaches you how to build a fire safely, cooking on the fire, (great kid favorites recipes), dealing with bugs, how to pick a camp site, what kind of Lots of safety tips too. The fun drawings make this a pleasure as well.

The authors show you how to make a reflector oven. The main feature if this book is the fun activities for around the fire such as stories songs, games, etc. Teaches kids how to identify the stars easily and even identify features on the face of the moon. I plan to use this with our Cub Scouts.

5 out of 5 stars Great for Novice and Experienced Campers Alike.......2002-12-05

This book flows like the campfire. From gathering the supplies, to lighting the fire, to the blaze, to the dieing fire, to the embers it's an enjoyable experience.

It has lots of activities: stories, songs, skits, etc. to make your campfire an enjoyable experience.

I wish I had owned this book when I taught a Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation for teaching Cub Scout Adults about making a successful overnight campout.

This book has been added to my library and will be suggested at all future BALOO trainings.

5 out of 5 stars A must have for parents of active minds!.......2007-09-07

As an aunt of two nieces and two nephews and a volunteer library assistant, I've gone through MANY craft books, trying to find a good one since the girls especially seem to love creating their own toys.
This series, and the other books in it, are WELL WORTH the money and shipping time, and what were what originally got me started shopping on Amazon.com.
It's got plenty of illustrations and photos, the kids in it look like they genuinely enjoy the activities instead of just posing for the cameras, and the materials for most, if not all of them are cheap and easy to find for the most part at your local Wal-Mart, K-mart or craft shops.
I recommend the entire series for busybody moms, dads, grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles everywhere, as crafts and building together area GREAT way to bond with your little ones, and I have yet to see an unsafe craft in the books, so no worry about hazards either. Unless of course.. your kid has a taste for glue. XP

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2006-08-07

Contains a good range of projects to keep the little ones interested and on-focus.

1 out of 5 stars horrible.......2005-02-02

this book only has about 20 crafts and almost all oif them use thread or pipe cleaners. They should have all of the supplies in the book but they make you go to the store and buy it. The crafts are not interesting and very boring. I suggest you don't buy this book.

5 out of 5 stars Family Fun is Great.......2004-05-15

I have bought Family Fun magazine for years just for their craft section. They have great crafts for all ages, many made of inexpensive and easily available materials. I have not only used the crafts with my grandkids but also use them with my Sunday School class, with an age range of 4-13 years old. Many of their crafts make easy and attractive gifts for children to give at Christmas, etc., and they have a collection of things to make for school parties. I highly recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars Great fun for beginners and more advanced.......2003-10-29

I work at a shelter for domestic violence victims including children. Many of these children have never had the opportunity to do crafts with a parent figure or go to school. Every time (and I mean every time), there was a craft class scheduled and we used something from this book in conjuction with a school lesson, the kids had a great time and learned something. They had, for the first time, something to give to their mothers for Christmas or Mother's Day.

The book is very easy to follow and I love the way it is divided up. If children who are learning challenged can do this, anyone can.

This was a great book to send home with the grandkids as they made their way back to CA from a long car trip to Iowa. I am sure it kept them busy for a good long time.

1 out of 5 stars Wasn't Helpful.......2007-09-03

Got this for my hubby for Christmas last year. He opened it a few times. Was not impressed with the "games" they had in there. Pretty obvious type things, or variations of the same game, or just strange ones. Wish I hadn't spend the $$ on this, as it's just sitting on a shelf.

5 out of 5 stars Perfevt gift for new dads.......2005-08-22

This book was a gift for my friends husband, as they just had their baby. He really does like the book. I thought it was a good idea to buy, as it gives new dads some good ideas what to do with their newborns, other than stare at them :-)

3 out of 5 stars Poorly Laid out but some good exercises.......2004-02-01

Most of the exercises are good and one usually comes to them naturally. It's a good reference to get a base set of things to do with your child. The only problem is it's poorly laid out meaning some of the sets are birth - 3 months with another set being birth to 6 months. Why not have them birth, 3 months, 6 months etc. The pictures are somewhat useless as well in that they show a guy and a child smiling. Diagrams with how the exercises should be performed might be a bit better.

5 out of 5 stars Rookie Dad.......2002-06-16

My husband is going to be a first time Dad this September.
For Father's day I chose this book as a little guide for him to enjoy.I know he is going to be a fantastic Father but wanted to give him some fun games to enjoy with the baby.I love the way the book explains all the exercises incorporating the whole sporting theme.The pictures are also fantastic.I just know my husband is going to gain so much from this book in turn enjoying his time with our child.I am pleased I chose this book for his first.

5 out of 5 stars A must buy.......2002-04-04

If you are looking for a book with tons of fun games and excercises to do with your infant, this is the book. I swear by it. We were trying to help my daughter crawl and I found an excercise/game in the book that had her crawling in days!!!
