Pamela Walks the Dog

Pamela Walks the Dog, by Christine Marlin, Bethlehem Books, Lamb Time Book.  

This is a delightful story about a young girl who is preparing to take her dog for a walk. The story has a great turn of events that my 5, 4, and 2 year olds find quite amusing.

Getting Young Children to Listen

Christine B. shared how she gets her four year old to listen. “I used to repeat myself five times to no avail. Now I simply get my daughter’s attention and make my request. After I have spoken to my daughter, I ask her if she heard me. Then I ask her, ‘What did I say?’ Finally, I tell her to do what I asked. She happily does as I have asked. Knowing that she is able to help ‘Mommy’ has been a great confidence-builder.”
