With this new book Alice Honig addresses a neglected area in child
development - how to help low literacy parents and parents for whom
English is a second language enchance the literacy and cognitive
development of their children in the home environment and through
daily routines. In learning to choose appropriate songs and books
for children, adults will feel comfortable with storytime long
before their children begin to talk. Honig and coauthor Holly E.
Brophy focus on language as a fundamental family activity. Through
the use of songs and stories, the authors show how rich language
interaction enhances an infant's feelings of love and security and
how it helps toddlers and young children learn more about objects,
rules, daily experiences and people. Rather than through more
formal dialogue or an educational setting, ideas on how to talk to
children are anchored to activities and comfortable personal chats
between caregivers and child. With its emphasis on the roles both
parents play in talking with babies during daily activities - such
as diapering, bath time, feedings and walks - parents should find
it an easily understood and valuable resource. In addition, the
book reassures caregivers that, as children begin to experiment
with language power, newly acquired behaviours are perfectly
natural. For example, parents for whom disciplining their child is
difficult, will learn to manage a child's new-found willfulness as
well as the need to experiment with behaviour, even bad behaviour.
The authors have included an entire section on discipline, which
further illustrates ways to communicate effectively with children
to improve cooperation. The book should be of interest to those in
child development and psychology and literacy education, as well as
a general manual for low-literacy parents.
