Growing Instructions

Plant Elephant Ears outdoors in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. Elephant Ears thrive in a full sun to partially shaded spot in moist, rich soil. Elephant Ears will tolerate full sun but prefer to have a little shade. Plant tubers 2-4" deep and 18-24" apart. When planting a large number of bulbs in one bed, excavate the entire area to the recommended depth, work fertilizer into the bottom of the trench, set out bulbs and then cover all at once. Water thoroughly at planting. While actively growing, water frequently and thoroughly so that water will reach roots. Mulch to keep the soil cool and to prevent the soil from drying out. Fertilize at planting and during growing season every two to three weeks. In areas where Elephant Ears are not winter hardy, dig up tubers in fall before frost. Clean off roots and store at 50ºF. Replant tubers in spring after all danger of frost has passed.

Care Tip

Elephant Ears are suitable for large pots, raised beds and will grow in standing water. Water well during dry periods. Some varieties of Elephant Ears can be grown indoors in a very bright location in consistently moist soil.

Engaging & Effective for toddlers w/Autism!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
My almost 3 year old was recently diagnosed with Autism. He struggles with transitions and also has a speech delay, which often contributes to big meltdowns when he doesn’t get his way. He’s been a “hitter” since about 18M… and it’s so hard! I know he has big emotions and can’t regulate them easily. This book is FANTASTIC! It’s easy to read and has cute and relatable illustrations. It can be a little repetitive, but that’s what helps get the point across. Let’s face it, my son is also very repetitive, so it seems to resonate with him. It talks about different feelings and emotions, how it’s ok to feel that way, and how to handle them without hitting. For example, you can use your words to ask a grownup for help; you can draw an angry picture; you can squeeze your hands into a ball and release them, etc. There’s different options for different scenarios, and each one is described in a way that toddlers can figure out how to do it themselves. His favorite is to squeeze his hands into a fist, or give his body a big “squeeze hug.” I’ve already caught him doing that a few times instead of slapping me! It’ll take practice (like the book mentions) but I think he’ll be able to self-regulate better with some of these ideas!! I also have some new phrases to use and picked up some sign language. I love the tips for caregivers in the back! If you have a hitter (especially one on the spectrum), you need this! I actually like it better than our other book, Hands Are Not for Hitting. Similar story line, but this one is more detailed and better suited for older toddlers. I highly recommend it!! Hope this helps ☺️

Wonderful Book for Toddlers and Up!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Great book for toddlers or older! I bought this for my 2.5 y.o. and she would request me to read it every night. She would demonstrate some of the techniques described in the book at her own voilition, which was awesome because it showed that a couple methods were 'sticking.' The next step was trying to help her to perform the technique when needed....like when wanting to hit her brother, which is a bit more challenging! The illustrations are beautiful, large, and colorful. There's one sentence that I think is confusing for little ones to comprehend, such as the breathing method you'd use when blowing bubbles or a pinwheel. I wish there was an "as if" in there so it's taken less literally. However, the flow of the book is nice. It goes through situations which might occur, how you might feel, and then the techniques. Love the page that summarizes all the techniques and the 6 strategies in the back for parents. The pages are a slightly thicker than most paperbacks for kids - more durable for sure, which I appreciate. It's written by a child psychologist, so you know it's going to be a book of quality!

Well done
Format: Hardcover
Beautiful book. Big, beautiful illustrations. The reading is easy though some of the concepts may be a little difficult for younger ones to grasp. Though this just leaves a great opportunity for further discussion on all the different reasons for crying. Great teaching tool. The illustrations do a wonderful job depicting these deeper concepts. Readers may find themselves lingering a little bit on each page, after the reading is done, absorbing the meaning of the words and pictures. Very well done.

Sensitively written and beautifully illustrated
Format: Hardcover
Why Do We Cry? is an sweetly illustrated and sensitively written book for young readers. Originally published in Spanish in 2018, this English translation released 7th April 2020 from Kids Can Press is 34 pages and available in hardcover and ebook formats. The book takes the form of a dialogue between a mother and son about why people cry and why it's good to examine and experience negative emotions so we can process them and what function tears (and crying) actually serve physiologically and emotionally. The text by Fran Pintadera (weblink in Spanish) is supported and enhanced beautifully by the nuanced illustrations by Ana Sender. This would make a superlative reading circle, library group, or classroom read for youngsters. There's a short discussion resource at the back of the book which includes some science based information on tears and the physiological functions they perform. Learning to process strong emotion in a positive and constructive manner is -vital- for development. I appreciated that the dialogue was sensitively handled and that the author chose to make the child male was a nice touch. I think that this could be a very valuable book *especially* given our current pandemic world situation. Five stars. Beautiful little book with universal relevance. Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
