Book Recommendations for Child Development

  • List of major child development books - things you can start doing even with a newborn
  • Slow and Steady Get me Ready by June Oberlander - terrific list of activities that can be done using things available in every home for every week since birth to age five. We jump all over those activities.

Our great appreciation to Shannon Rizzo for sharing her own list of recomendations with us:

  • Donna Simmon's "Joyful Movement" and "Kindergarten with your 3-6 year old"
    at Christopherus Homeschooling Bookstore
  • "Beyond the Rainbow Bridge - Nurthing our children from birth to seven" by
    Barbara Patterson & Pamela Bradley
  • "Magical Child" by Joseph Chilton Pierce (a classic and really good)
  • "You are your Child's First Teacher" by Rahima Baldwin
  • "Earthways - Simple Environmental Activities for Young Children" by Carol
    Petrash (this has in the back a list of recommended books by season, which
    has been really helpful)
  • Some of these will not be in print at amazon, but a great resource is Waldorf Books. They
    have very fast shipping and usually throw in a free book as a surprise.
