Random order responses to the "Circle" question per Jean Clarke's book
Circle #	Topic	( Archived ) Circle Question
93	NATURE of the TODDLER	When should I start reading to my baby, and what should I read? She doesn't pay attention to anything for very long.
Start today. Look at a simple picture book together each day. Pick books that have one large picture per page, pictures that are good for naming and pointing to objects. Include the baby when you're reading to your older child. Read a few sentences out loud from whatever you are reading: recipes, newspapers, or magazine articles. You can expect a very short attention span at this age. She may stay interested for two minutes or less. Provide cloth books that your child can chew on and crumple. Make story time a special time for physical closeness with your baby, cuddling her when she allows it. Repeat favorite nursery rhymes throughout the day while bathing, diapering, or riding in the car. Occasionally show her nursery-rhyme books. Use very stiff board books. The baby may rather open and close the book than be read to. Give her old magazines to look at and tear up.
