When it comes to safety, the earliest teachable moment is the best
teachable moment if this is done in a way that builds understanding
and skills instead of creating anxiety or fear.
According to "'MojoMom'" author Dr. Amy Tiemann, "Irene van der
Zande is the author of the classic parenting guide, "'1,2,3...The
Toddler Years: A Practical Guide for Parents and Caregivers'" which
for over 25 years has helped new parents navigate the waters
through the all-important first few years of life. Now van der
Zande combines her toddler-parenting expertise with her work as the
Founder and Executive Director of Kidpower, a leading international
organization teaching personal safety to people of all ages, with
the creation of the new book "'Earliest Teachable Moment: Personal
Safety for Babies, Toddlers and Preschoolers.'""
"What does personal safety look like for very young children?
"'Earliest Teachable Moment'" gives parents and caregivers
information and tools to create emotional safety, boundaries, and
positive relationships. Add to that important parent-centered
information including 'How to choose safe people to care for your
children.'Van der Zande coaches parents on how to teach basic
skills to children including 'Checking first to be safe with
objects, animals, strangers, and other potential problems.'"
""'Earliest Teachable Moment'" is practical, compassionate, and
backed by years of real-world-tested expertise. This book is a
must-have for any parenting library-for yourself, a loved one, or a
baby shower gift. You are in great hands with Irene van der Zande "
