Welcome to the Front Parking Spot podcast! This episode highlights the importance of starting the journey into the magical world of books with your child from birth. Veteran mother, grandmother, and Christian children's book author, Jennifer Bosma, offers her captivating insights into nurturing your child’s spiritual growth and literacy through reading to your baby when they are a newborn.
This episode discusses the remarkable benefits of early reading, backed by a compelling study conducted by a Rhode Island hospital. The study found significant vocabulary advances in babies who were read to from birth compared to their counterparts, highlighting that early reading notably enhances your child’s linguistic and verbal abilities.
Listen to Jennifer Bosma's personal story about realizing the importance of reading to her newborn granddaughter and how this profound experience led her to author the impactful book, "I Know the Plans". She also generously shares her tips on how to capture your child's attention with colorful books, engaging rhymes and regular reading routines.
Embrace the pleasures of reading to your little ones from birth and reap the numerous virtues it brings along. Not only does it aid early literacy, but it also strengthens emotional bonds and engagement with your baby, grandchild, niece, nephew, or child.
Further, the episode shares how storytelling filled with various emotions and expressions can be both entertaining and educational for your child and the future of their fluency when they are readers. The essence of reading should ideally be instilled from the very first day, nurturing a lifelong love for books.
But do remember, it's never too late to start. Even if your child is older, you can start slowly with short phrases and gradually transition to whole books. Books serve as a brilliant tool to share faith, wisdom, and good values in your child's routine.
Tune into this episode as we delve into the joy and advantages of reading to your newborn, and learn how to cultivate a lasting love for books.

Hey There, Mama!
Welcome to the Front Parking Spot Podcast!
It seems like yesterday when I was taking all three of my daughters (ages 6,4,2) to a local amusement park. I had a year pass, so why not? Driving up, the parking lot was packed. It seemed I needed to head for the back. I decided to take a chance, and I went for the front parking spots, and guess what? There wasn't one but two open spots! I zipped into one of them and unloaded. A life theme had just begun. So many people settle for the back spots, but it's usually available if you take a chance and go for the front parking spot. How does this relate to your life? In every way imaginable with God at the helm. So, live by Ephesians 3:20 and go for the front parking spot in your life today. If you take the chance and go for it, you'll be amazed at how the opportunities will open up!
