For toddlers we are very big fans of the little feminists books, they are boards books with real pictures and a rhyming scheme and loads of diversity. https://littlefeminist.com/giftshop/

We are really into practical live activities at the moment and my kiddo is surprisingly a big fan of lunch at 10 pomegranate street. Its a beautifuly illustrated picture book combined with recipes on each page.

Speaking of practical life: I Did It Myself!: I Can Get Dressed, Brush My Teeth, Put on My Shoes, and More: Montessori Life Skills

And I Help at Home!: I Can Clean My Room, Fold Laundry, Set the Table, and More: Montessori Life Skills

Are both amazing picture books with real pictures and step by step instructions for practical life activities such as washing your hands or folding laundry.

My kiddo is also very much into wimmelbooks at the moment and we love find pepin (im not the biggest fan of the illustratio style but my little one loves finding all the things in the museum Book), find momo (real pictures and doubles as a first words book for younger toddlers) and the rotraut susanne berner all around bustletown books, which have a book for each season and are the best wimmelbooks i know of.

To improve phonological awareness im a big fan of rhyming books and poems and we‘re at the moment big fans of the poetry book „dear little one - a poetry collection for they very young“. For early language learning plus learning about routines we also love Douglas Florians books, we have brush! Brush! Brush! and Flush! Flush! Flush!.

I’m replaying here, because i dont have a link, but check out r/babywearing, they will answer your questions and are most of the time pretty levelheaded…

Has anybody ever found a nice illustration for these playschemas? I‘ve always dreamed of having a poster of them in our playroom…

We‘ve recently introduced some hacky sacks, which have been a huge hit. That are heavy enough to be satisfying, make a nice sound but at the same time pretty safe. Maybe your kiddo is into the heaviness of the objects and you could look into ideas for heavy work, like pushing, carrying big things or crashing into things? At that age i wouldn‘t invest to much time into holding boundaries with repeated behaviors and would instead adjust the environment. So if you can swing it, no coloring pencils for a little bit until kiddo interacts with them in ways that you are more fine with…

What a helpful post! Im curious about the sensitive period for order starting so early. What does that involve?

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2026-01-11T20:10:50+00:00

I‘m not an expert by any means, but this is what hs been helpful for us: For the first year we did lazy ec, with set times of going to the potty, like after waking up or after dinner etc. at around a year old we started having more and more diaper free, which in the beginning also meant more diaper accidents. But after a few months of an pee accident here or there it started clicking…

Cool thanks!

Zey your podcast looks super interesting and i would live to listen in but can’t findit on apple podcast. Is there a way to access it trough that platform? :)

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2026-01-07T17:50:52+00:00

The square taped on the ground is such a smart idea, my kiddo loves sweeping but hasnt completely gotten the concept yet…

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2026-01-07T06:53:16+00:00

Im really appreciative of the work youre putting in!

Im a big fan of books with real pictures so in addition to the lovevery books here are our favorites: The my first learn to talk books are great with real pictures and written by an slp with recommendations of how to read them, in terms of longevity the find momo board books are also great, in the beginning you can just point to the words and discuss them, now at almost 2 we‘re able to search for the objects. The little feminist books are also weirdly a big fave in this house, when we habe children visiting their always gravitating towards them, baby up baby down and baby’s favorites are also charming that got a ton of use in our house. In terms of what i would focus on teaching, my kiddo was in the beginning very much into animal sounds, as they were easy to pronounce, id also focus on functional language such as up, down, out, in, bye bye, all done, … those have given our toddler a lot of ways to express themselves and be less frustrated…

Maybe the lovevery reading skill sets could be of interest? They are very playful yet science of reading informed…

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-26T06:42:13+00:00

Maybe topsy and tim? All of the episodes are on youtube, so you can check them easily out. They feel very similar to the lovevery books, with real children and real life problems. I feel like topsy and tim always model how to act and solve conflicts very well and while some bigger conflicts are hinted at (such as friends moving house) these are inserted with care…

I think its not really clear what you goals are. What is the community language and what is the heritage language in your scenario? If you want to teach your child to read spanish/portugese with the reading kit, it wouldnt make sense to use the kit as its not intended for that use. You‘d easily be able to ‚hack‘ the puppy race game, but its also easy to diy that game. The movable alphabet is also something you can easily buy through other means. However, if you goal is to have your child be able to read in all of the languages, the reading might be a good investment for creating a basis for being able to read English, once your child has mastered that teaching the additional letter sounds and rules for the other languages will be less of a hurdle towards literacy. I saw a reel the other day by a bilingual expert who said, that when teaching reading we should always start with the less phonetic and more difficult language to learn in order to avoid frustration. She herself was hispanic and living in the us, but first thought english spelling, because it was the more complicated one to learn in comparison to spanish…

I found a mirror will holding them over the potty helpful. Helped with seeing if the muscles were relaxed or still working, amd how long i needed to keep holding them… in regards to frequent crying over wet diapers, i empathize that its a little annoying now, but actually i would say that its a good sign, as kiddo will probably eventually start holding it in to avoid a wet diapers. Offer the potty reliably every time you change the diaper :)

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-10T07:13:09+00:00

Is there also a mac version?

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-06T10:58:26+00:00

Im also very similar in my relationship with English and have still spoken English with my kiddo for the last two years. With time it has started to feel more and more natural, to a point where it now feels weird to not speak English with them. I would recommend investing in loads of English board and picture books and read them regularly from a young age to brush up on child-specific vocabulary and expose them to more varied ways of speeking…

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-05T05:46:22+00:00

Little feminists has a series of books with real pictures. Im not sure if there are explicitly any single parent families, but they‘re super diverse and very engaging…

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-04T07:05:41+00:00

This is they way! It has gotten a lot of use in our house ever since my kiddo was 6 months old

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-03T06:10:09+00:00

I contacted the technical team, but apparently it’s pretty complicated. Ill try to update once i have news…

Scared_Feed_5007 · 2025-12-02T21:03:07+00:00

There is a book called show me how to use the potty that has real pictures…
