Father reads with son...

♥ Nothing creates a love for reading more than sitting with our child and doing just that, reading.

♥ Start as soon as they will sit still, which of course starts as an infant right from the crib.

♥ Our children love hearing our voices, the rhythm and the tones.

♥ We  spark our toddlers curiosity when we read to them, let them turn the pages and allow the anticipation of what’s to come, remember not to rush. They will ask for the same book again and again.

♥ Start with board books which you can pick up cheep from your local thrift store.

♥ Visit your local library and participate in a story hour for young children. Story hour is a nice break for moms and expands your child’s exposure to new stories.

♥ Make sure and sign up for a library card and let your child be part of checking out the books.

♥ It is helpful to use a book bag to keep books organized and accounted for.

♥ Remember to borrow more books than DVDs.

♥ When the children get older it is fun to create a chart to keep track of the titles and the amount of books read.

♥ Good books are windows to explore the world in which we live.

Welcome

Hi, So glad you stopped by. As you can see we are under construction, and doing final touches to my upcoming CD and websites. I’m getting excited because this has been quite a long project. I hope you will order the CD.  The songs are done in many different styles of music with latin beats, country rock, broadway, Asian and the smooth voices of Ms. Dawn and friends.

What you’ll find here:

Take a little tour around and please make sure you check out the songs on the Music page.

I am a nurse and musician and the songs I have written and recorded have fun health related messag es that are upbeat and would appeal to your preschooler and young elementary children.

Read the “U Sait It!” tab to see what grandmothers, moms, teachers and an author are saying about the music.

After you have checked out the tunes please add yourself to the “U R Here!” map and let us know what you think.

The About page is where you will learn about my musical beginnings.

You can check out the blog to keep abreast of the musical adventures of The Singing Nurse.

The Lyrics tab will show you all the lyrics and the inspiration behind the songs.

Jenn’s Story is a page to encourage you if you or your family are living with disabilities.

A portion of the proceeds from this CD will be going to aid: The Hungry and Families Living with HIV/AIDS through “Nazarene Compassionate Ministries”.

I hope you will tell all your teacher contacts, healthcare professionals, parents and friends to purchase:

“The Singing Nurse”, Nurturing Body, Mind, and Spirit CD.

Hope to hear from you soon.

For Healthy Children, Body, Mind and Spirit
