Synopsis

This book will encourage you to connect with your children in a very meaningful way through the writing of personal notes and letters to them. You can place these letters in your children's lunch boxes or knapsacks before they leave for school, to be opened later in the day. They can be left under the pillow of a sleeping child, slipped under a bedroom door, given to celebrate a special occasion, or even posted on the refrigerator door...They can also be written and mailed by grandparents, aunts and uncles, and godparents. Such expressions of love are as necessary for the spirit as lunch is for the body. Kids can never receive enough encouragement from the people they love. Over time, you will find -- as each of us did -- that your children treasure these notes more than any expensive gift which you gave them. Contains 75 sheets of colourful notepaper, perforated and ready for you to tear out and use. Just add a few words and tuck the finished letter into your children's lunch boxes. Parents: an easy way to encourage your kids to do and be their best...even when you can't be there!

About this title

Review

A small-format paperback treasure.--Larry Larson"Fresno Bee" (08/17/2000)

A sweet book.--Tampa Bay Family (08/15/2004)

A nifty little book to help moms and dads connect with their offspring.--Edmonton Sun (08/25/2000)

Children are subjected to great stress and anxiety while growing up in a dangerous and fast changing world. Parents struggle too, especially to find ways to communicate with their children and to show how much they care. This practical and valuable little book presents a proven method of staying in touch with your children throughout their school years. "Lunch Box Letters" is the result of the experience of two parents who--separately--wrote notes to their children on a regular basis and were immensely encouraged, by the results. Now they show how you can use their successful method to communicate with your own kids.... They will be thrilled. And you'll find that with this book to help you, the message takes almost no time at all.-- (01/24/2011)

Though Lunch Box Letters includes 75 two-sided and brightly printed tear-out notes ready for your own note to your child, in this case the message really is more important than the medium. Sperandeo and Zimmerman's thoughts on making lunch box letters--or any other kind--work for you is by far the most valuable part of the book.... This book is intended to be used cover-to-cover. Don't simply give in to the temptation to pull one of the perforated letters out and start scribbling. Sperandeo and Zimmerman make a good case for written communication with the young people in your life and how to act on it. It's advice that literary-minded parents will take to heart.-- (11/01/2000)

Certain to put a smile on the face of the kids in your life.--San Diego Family (08/01/2000)
