Pet Rocks and Pollywogs

Children sometimes have a difficult time thinking of their parents as anything but the adults who give them care and love. The truth, that their parents were once children much like themselves, creates an even stronger bond between parent and child. In this story, a little girl tells about her mother and the things her mother did when she was a child, such as playing with rocks and pretending that they were other things. This story encourages a child's imagination and offers an opening for adults to discuss their own childhood with their children.
