Finally, a user-friendly checklist of fresh ideas has become available for parents, grandparents, babysitters, teachers, and therapists. Actually, this book is a much-needed resource for anyone and everyone who spends time with children.
201 Things to Do… was first published in 1992 when Randisi was a young mother struggling to come up with ideas for things to do with her three young children. Despite being an elementary school teacher, she found herself using the television as a babysitter. Randisi admits the book was written out of necessity.
It wasn’t long before she discovered her collection of ideas served a much greater audience. As it turns out, she was not the only one with good intentions and not enough good ideas.
Now, the checklist of ideas has been revamped to include space for journaling allowing the everyday moments of children having fun to be captured and preserved.
201 Things to Do… is user-friendly book, unlike many huge scrapbooking projects. Not every idea requires a journal entry. Straightforward pages and no fluff allows readers to bypass tedious reading and glide right into the fun. The goal is to eliminate boredom by encouraging spur-of-the-moment playfulness, which in turn builds healthy relationships.

"If classroom management isn't in place, nothing good happens." The most unchallenged assumption today is that children are coming to school knowing how to behave and ready to learn. That's not the case. Almost 50% of new teachers leave the profession in 5 years. I'm on a mission to stop teacher attrition with a proven program called Time To Teach!, which focuses on classroom management and student discipline.
