I am thrilled to be including the MY BABY COMPASS® SERIES by Kathryn Thorson Gruhn in our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide. This set would be perfect for parents of children newborn to age seven; and what a fabulous gift this would be for all the expectant parents on your list!

- Birth to Two – 6 booklets. This program covers areas of development including: Getting to Know Your Baby, The Communication Process, Tracking Your Child’s Progress My Child Did Not Meet a Milestone. Now What? and an Appendix that tells you how to get help with resources that will give you support.

- Two to Four – 4 booklets. This program covers areas of development including: Getting to Know Your Toddler, The Communication Process, Tracking Your Child’s Progress, My Child Did Not Meet a Milestone. Now What? and an Appendix that tells you how to get help with resources that will give you support.

You will also receive a CD ROM of the developmental checklists from Birth to Seven. This CD ROM allows you to use an electronic method to keep track of your child’s progress. It can be used by parents and professionals as a screening process to note if a child is delayed in the areas of speech, language, cognitive, physical or social-emotional skills.
The program can be started at any time by purchasing the individual manuals that match your child’s age or you may purchase the series as a boxed set. It is important to note, if your child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay, it is best to start at the age level of his diagnosis.
This series is an excellent guide for any parent to have at hand. It is well organized, easy to read, provides tools & checklists, and pages of useful information. I only wish these books had been available when my children were little…they may have saved thousands of calls to my mom!!
