The Blessings of a Skinned Knee
This is about as close to a Parenting Manual as you can get. Mogul uses Jewish teachings to guide you through instilling respect and self-reliance in your children.
Beyond Piggy Banks and Lemonade Stands
We implemented this book’s 3 Jar Strategy to teach our children how to manage their finances. We did this when they were around 4-5 years old and gave them some simple chores to earn a small allowance.
This is a series of 3 beautiful books about a girl with Cerebral Palsy. Melody can’t talk or walk, but she is the smartest girl in her school, never slowed down by her disability. I loved reading these books and so did my kids.
It is amazing to read what is considered typical behavior when you view it as difficult. These books give insight and advice of how to deal with your child from age 1 - 14.
(I linked the Guide to 4 Year Olds above.)

My children played with this sand for years…quietly! We made one bin of sand for construction vehicles only. It was so fun!
This crash pad was worth its weight in gold. If you have the space in your home, you need this. This helped so much with dysregulation. We would jump on it 10 times before we left the house to get our bodies in control.
Bear Drinking Kit - Teach Straw Drinking
My youngest was in feeding therapy and he could not figure out how to suck from a straw until we got this little bear.
My youngest also struggled with wanting to use utensils. These construction vehicle utensils were right up his alley and really helped!
I’ll be honest, my boys have no interest in wearing rings, so these weren’t the fidget for them. But I love the idea! If your child likes wearing jewelry, these are definitely worth checking out.
This is the perfect place for kids to relax. The body sock helps self-regulate your child and calms their body. Can’t say enough good things about this body sock, especially how it can encourage kids that don’t like talking to talk.
Sand Timers: (1,3,5,10,15,30 minute timers)
These are great visual supports for kids to help ease transitions. Love that they come in different times, so you don’t have to keep reusing a one-minute timer.
“First, Then” Velcro Schedule
This is a great visual schedule for the littles. Lots of routine options to help kids transition from one thing to another.With this tower, your child can be eyelevel with the adults. Helps encourage hand eye coordination and independence while being safe.

I was so tired of the fights about cleaning up Legos! Then I found this table! This table makes clean up easy; your child can build and play on it, and then they can slide it under your couch without taking apart any of their amazing creations.
Both of my boys love collecting stones and reading the meanings and symbolism behind each one. This box is a great way to keep them from ending up all over the house.
Skylight Digital Wall Calendar
A wall mounted touchscreen can display schedules, tasks, chores, reminders, and other household information. This is where technology can become a bridge toward adult level planning rather than charts and rewards. It is simply responsibility.

This game is so simple and so much fun. It comes with chips, but we like to substitute them with dollar bills. The winner gets the pot ($12)!
Some evenings at dinner we use these cards. I love getting the kids talking, thinking, and listening!
Family Board Game - Scout It Out!
We love playing this game together as a family. You get clues to guess the state in question.

I use this brush before I shower to help with detox and lymphatic support (and it feels nice!). I know we all have those days where we don’t even think we have time to shower! But go ahead, take an extra 2 minutes for yourself!

Ever since my oldest could hold a piece of chalk, he’s been blowing through them like water! To this day he still uses the chalk, and this big pack makes him feel like a real artist!
My kids had these cases for years; they liked to think of them as their “briefcases”. The best part is, we had no fights about cleaning up, because they want to put their art supplies back in the case.
