Mommy Doesn't Know My Name

Reach for this book when your toddler is beginning to assert their individuality but still craves the security of your affection. It is a perfect choice for those moments when your child insists they are a big kid, yet loves the silly, private language that exists only between a parent and child. The story follows a young girl who playfully corrects her mother's long list of whimsical nicknames, from pumpkin to little monster, by firmly stating her real name. It beautifully captures the preschooler's transition from being an extension of the parent to becoming their own person. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's sense of self while reinforcing the unconditional love that allows for such playful banter. It is a gentle, humorous tool for building self-confidence and celebrating the unique bond you share with your little one.
