Let’s face it, in today’s North America most new babies have so much “stuff”, that purchasing a unique and useful item is nearly impossible. There are dozens of new outfits, many that will be outgrown before they are ever worn; enough toys to furnish a couple day cares and stylized nurseries that contain every piece of furniture known to babykind! So it is no wonder you are racking your brain wondering what you can possibly buy for the new parents, new baby or expectant parents on your holiday shopping list?
Well, rack that brain of yours no more! I have a solution; it is the perfect gift, and will be used over and over again during the next seven years!
What is this perfect gift? It is the MY BABY COMPASS® SERIES by Kathryn Thorson Gruhn.
The MY BABY COMPASS® SERIES contains 3 manuals, 14 booklets and a CD Rom. It helps your child: Think, Speak, Move and Thrive. The program consists of three phases:
- 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. The manual covers topics such as: feeding, routines, how babies learn, understanding baby’s cries, using sign language, appropriate toys and activities, nursery rhymes, finger plays and music that will enhance your child’s learning.
- 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. The manual covers topics such as: potty training, temper tantrums, how toddlers learn, reading and writing readiness, appropriate toys and activities, nursery rhymes, finger plays and music that will enhance your child’s learning.
- Four to Seven – 4 booklets This program covers areas of development including: Getting to Know Your Preschooler, 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. The manual covers topics such as creative play, social interaction, how toddlers learn, reading and writing, cognitive development, appropriate toys and activities, nursery rhymes, finger plays and music that will enhance your child’s learning.
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.
{For every book sold, $3 is donated to Autism speaks. When a child speaks the first word, it is memorable, but if a parent never hears the first word, it is most memorable.}
This series is an excellent guide for any parent to have at hand. It is well organized, easy to read, provides tools & checklists, and many pages of useful information.
The series has received the prestigious PTPA seal of approval.

This series would be great for our Daughter. She just gave birth to her second baby boy last week. She also has a little boy who will be three in January. I think she would find this series very informative. She is also a school teacher and I think this series could help her in that regard too. Thank you for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.
