Do you have quality conversations with your child each day? (giving orders and making demands do not count) If you clock it one day you may be surprised to learn you have spent hardly any time at all in just 'talking'.

The earlier you start communication with your child, the better. That's Bingzy! is a book written to help you do just that.

Bingzy is a colorful character who introduces concepts of being strong, creative, loving, powerful, healthy, harmonious, happy, and successful. Each topic has a four line poem and a question to start your thinking together.

A quiet time of sharing important subjects with your child will open the lines of communication in a powerful way. If you wait until they are teenagers, meaningful communication is much more difficult to achieve.

The book, written by Arlene Richards, also includes a sing-along CD sung by 8 year old Skylar Buck. The songs reinforce the concepts with lyrics that young children will learn quickly.

So, get a quiet spot, cuddle up with that amazing child of yours, and learn from Bingzy together. Let me know how it goes. The Schoolmarm
