What\u2019s it all about?\u00a0 Brain Science 101
\n<\/b>Transitions for kids can be tough, be it bedtime or a holiday break and we know as parents that a little empowerment goes a long way to smooth the rough patches. Katherine Eskovitz, the lawyer-turned-mompreneur behind Little Blueprint, did her homework: she consulted developmental experts for the 411 on the prevailing research about how bitty brain matter develops. Eskovitz asked questions that we\u2019ve all asked ourselves: What goes into making a plan? What skills do children need to develop for this complex process?\u00a0 After she found out what executive functions of the brain are used and how we can help strengthen them, Katherine pared it down to palatable points that the whole family could easily digest. Think of it as a shortcut to how the brain works. Take, for instance, the message on sleep: literally, no snooze and we all lose.\"little_blueprint_sleep_plan\"<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Into each life, a little plan should fall
\n<\/b>Little Blueprint puts your tiny architect at the center of the plan.\u00a0 Start with a tricky topic:\u00a0 sleep, safety, separation\/divorce, coping with holidays, loss of a loved one \u2013 all biggies that we confront at one point or another. Next, choose a character that resembles your child (size, sex and skin tone). Sprinkle in a few fave snapshots and a couple of key facts and figures about yourself or other grownups. You and your kids have the power to decide how much you want to add to make the story your own.\u00a0 Personalizing the story promotes your kiddo\u2019s recall and comprehension of the plan she or he helped create.<\/p>\n

Ch-ch-ch-changes
\n<\/b>But wait\u2026life happens when we\u2019re making other plans. Sometimes it\u2019s just easier to get a bit of expert insight, which is why we love that all Little Blueprints can be ordered ready-made, too. In place of personal photos, the stories feature colorful, inviting illustrations, accompanied by photographic backgrounds of familiar settings.\u00a0You\u2019ll get a sure-fire plan to quell real anxieties and build big-kid confidence, whatever the confusing circumstance. Little Blueprint also makes a great gift for first-time parents looking for timely tips!<\/p>\n

The easy-to-follow 26-page books are available exclusively through the\u00a0Little Blueprint website<\/a>, with ready-made titles beginning at $24.95 and personalized versions for $34.95.
