My new book from Gryphon House is coming out May 2015

I am honored to be asked to offer the Keynote at this international early childhood education conference in 2015

Ellen Booth Church- Keynote Speaker

Our event was geared towards parents of children 0-5 years of age and our topic was The Power of Play. We had a small group of parents but Ellen made it worth their while. She made the parents feel comfortable, it was a very intimate lecture between Ellen and the parents. She started the lecture off with a song about saying hello with different parts of your body or of the things you were wearing, surprising enough the parents joined in eagerly. Ellen spoke about different ways of playing with your child while at home, in the car or on a walk. She taught us that you don’t need to buy all these expensive toys for your child to play with and that they just need you, someone that cares. Ellen really related to the parents with her own experiences and how she still remembers those moments of play with her parents/grandparents. Ellen helped the parents understand that the child’s imagination is a great thing and that we should all encourage children to use this magical tool as often as possible.
Ellen was an extremely incredible speaker she is so playful and inspiring. I love that she embraces children and that we too can learn from them. She left me motivated and ready to take on parenthood. I highly recommend Ellen as a keynote speaker. I’m actually thinking what we could use her for next!

I am happy to say that I have agreed to write a book for Gryphon House. I have always wanted to write for them and now I am working on a book that focused on Social Emotional Development through Activities. "Stay tuned" as they say!
