Boredom Breaks

Babies don’t like doing errands or sitting through a church service all that much. So smart moms bring interesting treats in the diaper bag: a small bag of cereal or crackers, water, and a book can add extra good behavior time. Make the book a reward. A colorful, board book with thick pages a baby can turn himself is more fun than being shushed. It is one of many first steps to loving to read.
