What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

None. The approach is entirely secular, direct, and practical. It focuses on the physical world and human comfort.

Ideal Reader

A 3 or 4 year old who is entering the 'why' phase. It is perfect for the child who may have sensory sensitivities regarding clothing or who simply wants to understand the logic behind their parents' requests to put on a hat before leaving the house.

Parent Prep

No prep needed. It can be read cold. Parents might want to have a few of the child's own hats nearby to touch and feel during the reading. A parent might find this useful after a 'hat battle' in the hallway or when a child asks why the wind feels cold on their ears.
