You have an important learning tool for your pre-schoolers right in your own home: Your Photos. Learn how to turn them into an interative learning experience for your child.

“Research tells us that the more exposure to reading materials children have, the earlier they will read and comprehend” says Shara Lawrence-Weiss, owner of Mommy Perks and Personal Child Stories.

Shara has developed an amazing learning tool for children of all ages. After her young son was diagnosed with glaucoma and had to have his eye removed, her mother suggested that she create a personal book for her son to help him understand all the changes in his life.

Shara searched for a book that might help, but found nothing. That’s when she decided to create her own.

Shara created two books to help her son through this adjustment period. The books had photos from her own personal collection showing her son, family members and friends that also needed to wear glasses, a photo of his prosthetic eye and potential hazards for her son to avoid. She had each book laminated and bound.

“I read the books to my son daily,” Shara says. “They impacted his behavior dramatically and we soon passed through that season of our lives…and into another. When our son entered preschool, I requested that his teacher read the prosthetic eye story to the class – in order to open up the lines of communication between my son and the other students.”

Shara goes on to say “By second grade, all of my son’s friends were well aware of his situation; so much so that it no longer mattered to any of them. It was old news.”

These books were an invaluable tool in the life of Shara’s son and much can be learned by her example. Do you have a loved one that is going through a difficult situation or having a hard time adjusting to a new change in his or her life? Why not create a personlized book for your child with your own photos. If you do not have the time or materials to do this on your own, contact Shara at Mommy Perks or Personal Child Stories for more information.

Each child’s personalized, interactive story will be laminated and coil bound and will be theirs to read at home or to share with others: at school, play group, preschool, day care, family gathering, etc.

“PCS encourages parents to put books in their children’s hands from the start and to offer personal stories and books containing photos of the child – for the most beneficial reading experience possible,” says Shara.
