Hi everyone,

We thought we’d share this great picture with you, of kids at Head Start receiving their Myself Belts. We donate a Myself Belt to kids at Head Start for every book purchase we receive. Buying a book from Myself Belts is a great way to get your own kids reading and to make a useful donation to a child in Head Start.

Head Start is a nationwide program that provides comprehensive education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families. Nearly 25 million pre-school aged children have benefited from Head Start. Our belt donations go to the St. Louis chapter of Head Start of Missouri.

Hi everyone!

Hi everyone,

We both know how frustrating it can be getting your kids dressed in the morning! Whether your child wants to wear everything in their closet all at once, the same t-shirt everyday, or stripes with polka dots with plaid, the daily fighting over what to wear can be difficult and tiring.

My (Talia’s) youngest daughter (aged almost 4) is at the stage where she needs several choices in the morning. I find that laying out several options for her is the easiest way to have a calm morning. If I give her only one choice, she won’t want to wear it. But if I let her choose from several choices, she’s always happy. My older daughter (aged 6) is beginning to choose her own clothes without my help. Though this can end up in an interesting outfit of striped pants and a flower-patterned shirt, the pride she gets from choosing her own outfits is worth it!

Do you all have any strategies for helping your kids get dressed in the morning? Share them in the comments section!
