Backed by Research
We created the I’m Ready For Book Series to help prepare children for their tough “firsts”. As guardians and educators ourselves, we noticed that many books out there presented the scary parts of the challenge. Surely you remember the stories that began with something like: John has the jitters on his first day of school. Rosa hates the dentist. We decided that John can be happy about school and Rosa just might see going to the dentist as an adventure! We simply have to change the way in which we approach our presentation. 

We want the best for our kids. We want them to have fun while learning to be confident—even at a young age. Let’s put away the nerves and instead, get ready!

Throughout research, different studies show that words of affirmation are important in building a child’s self-esteem. The term “emotion socialization” describes how a child could be negatively or positively affected in the long-run just based on words. Children who are positively built up at a young age learn to love who they are, whereas children who are exposed to too many negative messages, learn fear. 

The I’m Ready For book series is meant to dispel fear through positive affirmation. These entertaining and imaginative books will not only help children get prepared, but will also give adults the language to communicate love, cooperation, and excitement for some of the most challenging firsts.
