The Growing Cards offer advocates the means for an on-going discussion about the emotional development of toddlers and how it relates to their behavior. The cards give parents specific ideas as well as support for dealing with the challenges of the toddler years: separation anxiety, independence, assertion, fears, and building self-esteem.
The Growing Cards are entitled: Independence, Fears, Making Choices, Being Good, Remembering and Wonder.
The Growing Cards are designed for families of toddlers, age 18 months to about 3 years. Six brightly colored cards sized for easy 5 x 7 framing. Drawings of mothers, fathers and children are by artist and book illustrator Sharon McGinley-Nally, and are augmented by bold warm colors. Easy-to-read text is appropriate for all reading levels.
