About This Book

From Simon & Schuster, Please Touch is a guide to how to stimulate your child's creative development through movement, music, art, and play.

And doing so by leveraging all types of artistic endeavors.

Our Review

This practical guide offers parents a comprehensive toolkit for nurturing their child's creative development through sensory-rich activities and artistic exploration. Susan Striker provides concrete, age-appropriate methods for stimulating natural curiosity and energy in children's formative years before age four. The book emphasizes how movement, music, art, and purposeful play can become powerful vehicles for cognitive and emotional growth. Parents will find actionable strategies that transform everyday moments into opportunities for creative learning and connection.

What sets this approach apart is its holistic integration of multiple artistic disciplines as essential components of early childhood development rather than separate activities. The guidance feels particularly valuable for parents seeking to move beyond screen time and cultivate hands-on, interactive experiences that build foundational skills. Striker's methods empower caregivers to become active participants in their child's creative journey, offering a refreshing alternative to passive entertainment. This resource ultimately helps families build a lifestyle where creativity becomes as natural as breathing in the daily rhythm of growing up.
