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
are beautifully packaged in glassine envelopes and 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.
