Instructions
1. Children are comforted by hearing the voices of their families.
2. Send home a tape recorder for families to record themselves reading a
short book or telling a story. If this is not possible, suggest that families
do this at drop-off or pick-up.
3. When a child is fussy or needs some quiet time, play the tape of her
family. It will reassure and comfort her.
