Vote Now for "Every Kid Has Their Day" at Critter's Preditor's & Editors Poll

"Every Kid Has Their Day"
NEEDS YOUR VOTES!


Every year, the Critter's holds a poll for various genres of books, publishing houses, and authors and this year my book, "Every Kid Has Their Day" was graciously nominated.


Now while it would be nice to "win" some monetary award or be featured in the New York Times, there is no real prize for winning first place BUT by helping my book get voted to #1 helps ensure that many people and other book marketers can see my book. It also helps my publishing house get some accolades as well.


Why is all that important? I wrote "Every Kid Has Their Day" not just my child but for all of your children too. I wrote my four stories for those who face each day with ADHD, fears of being picked on and bullied, getting through a scary first day at a new strange place, and for those that just start out on the wrong side of the bed. So by voting, you are helping more people to be able to have this book available to their children and others. At least that is the hope. If I get first place, I get an online badge and of course it's recorded that I won, but so many others will see these poll lists and see my book, name, and publisher.




Please vote for me! If I get first place, I will gladly give away five copies of "Ever Kid Has Their Day" along with five signed bookmarks.


Also, if you could be so kind, please vote for my dear friend, mentor, and fellow author superstar, Denyse Bridger.

Why E-Books Make Great Presents For The Holidays

   It's 2014, and the age of children's primary use of traditional books for learning is declining. It's all about E-Learning and more and more schools are incorporating I-Pads, Netbooks, and Tablets into the curriculum. Kindergartners are beginning to be integrated into having to learn to use a hand held electronic for learning. Good Morning America has even listed Tablets, Amazon Fires, I-Pads, etc. as the top gifts children are wanting for Christmas. 



      Most kids love their Tablets and I-Pads and there's nothing really wrong with it but instead of letting them surf the net (which is not always safe) or downloading tons of games from the App Store, why not load your child's devices with books? Books are great gift ideas and essentials to have for your child if you are going to let them use something like an electronic device. Ladybee Publishing http://www.ladybeepublishing.ca/ has several titles that appeal to most age ranges. Books like my own, Every Kid Has Their Day and What Will Happen If I Tell by Cynthia MacGregor are stories that will empower children and give them life lessons. Ladybee also has Baymo by Seth C.Kadish, Camile Miles Private Eye by Terry Coffey, Pumpkinstein by Clark Mitchell, and the highly adventurous and hilarious Alex and the Wolpertinger by Koos Verkaik which was an Epic E-Books Awards Finalist.

Me and My ADHD The Labor of Love

How many of you out there have a child that has either ADD or ADHD? For those of you that do, you know how quickly Wonderland can be turned upside down, shaken, and then stirred. For the ones who don't; it can be hard for them to really understand what you and your child (children) go through on a daily basis. I know for me, it's not been easy at all.




       Back in the day when I first started hearing about ADD/ADHD, I was in high school taking Early Childhood Education classes for college credits. I really just shrugged and had all these new age ideas that went against my Annie Sullivan approach to child learning. I wanted to seek out a career in teaching and be a cross between Annie Sullivan meets Avonlea's Anne Shirley. I figured that ADD/ADHD was just something parents labeled their child with if their kid happened to be overly hyper and full of endless energy. I had been around countless children. I was the oldest of three siblings, often took care of children in the church nursery, and had baby sat for virtually everyone. I had been exposed to good children, bad ones, ill tempered, pranksters, and ones that were so introverted they hid behind my legs most of the time. Nothing, and I mean absolutely NOTHING prepared me for my son Justin.




             Justin wasn't my first child and there were almost ten years between him and Olivia. I thought surly at 30, I had this whole mother thing down pat. I knew what the difference was between just a random runny nose and a full blown cold. I knew what to look for when it came to ear infections and when it was time to make an appointment with the ENT doctor. I had learned the various ways of camouflaging vegetables for the pickiest of kids (namely mine) on the entire planet. I had all the stories down pat, finger songs, latest data in potty training, and manners. All the bumps in the road and discovery with the first child had paved the way for my second.  That was the thought at least; the false sense of hope. When Justin was two, the meltdowns and torrential tantrums began. When he started school after two years of Special Needs preschool, Justin had issues sitting still, he had terrible sleeping problems which he still has, and the tantrums were bad. Finally towards the start of his second semester, I got out of denial and gave in enough to have him tested for Autism, ADD/ADHD, or some other behavioral learning disability. I didn't want to admit that ADHD/ADD was real. I didn't want to believe that I couldn't help my child overcome his problems. I had to accept that I was in denial and it was causing my son to suffer. We all were suffering.




                  When my son was placed in home bound in his 2nd grade year of school, he asked me once, "Why do I have ADHD?" My heart broke. I told him it wasn't a bad thing. It just meant that his brain just worked differently. I began researching everything I could about ADHD. Sadly our local library had few books for young readers about ADD/ADHD. One morning while my son was in tutoring, I wrote Me and My ADHD. It was published with three other stories designed to empower kids and build their confidence.
