ReadySetPrep

The only kids' books you need to prepare little ones for big experiences! With 25 titles available on Amazon, ReadySetPrep makes it easy for parents, caregivers and childhood development experts to help kids understand — realistically — what to expect when they go on an airplane, go in for surgery, go to school and more. ReadySetPrep books use real photos with real people and objects, a proven teaching method to help children create a better and more direct connection with reality than illustrations or fiction. WHY PREPARATION? A child's early years really matter. The brain science experts at the Zero to Three organization put it best: "Research and clinical experience demonstrate that a baby’s earliest relationships and experiences with their parents and other caregivers dramatically influences brain development, social-emotional and cognitive skills, and future health and success in school and life." Preparation is a simple and effective method to buffer children against early and long-term adversity. Children who know what to expect and have a clear understanding of a situation are more confident, effectively reducing the risk of uncontrolled behavioral outbursts and resulting in more positive experiences for everyone. WHY NOW? New studies show that: 1. Kids' mental health concerns are the #1 concern for parents**, and 2. Being a parent is harder than expected Even if you know what you could or should to support a child's developing brain, busy caregivers often don't have time to find or create the best resources they need to do so. ReadySetPrep creates books for kids that are easy for any parent, child life specialist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist or caregiver to use and fit into their existing routines.
