Tell your children stories before they can speak. The Early Childhood Parenting Center, a nonprofit child development organization, is sponsoring a parent education program entitled “Tiny Books for Tiny Tots.” The program is set for Monday, Sept. 11, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at 1440 Harvard St. Parents will make a “little book” for their very young, pre-verbal infant or young toddler. The books are designed to be tools to help little ones better understand and make sense of life events — those that are expected occurrences, unexpected surprises, as well as events that are sad, scary or joyous.

Using basic stick figure art and other easy art work styles, parents will learn to become storytellers in very simple terms within the contextual experiences of their child.

To register for the program, call (310) 281-9770 by Sept. 6\. The fee is $15, payable at the program. If you are paying by check, make checks payable to Community Partners, FBO, ECPC. For more information, log on to www.parentingtots.org. Get rid of the ‘brain drain’
