Our Let’s Talk Kits give families a starting point to talk about feelings, behavior, social skills, and life events. Each kit includes books for both kids and parents, and an activity. These items can be explored together or separately, but our hope is that they will encourage family discussion and sharing.
The kits checkout to CAPL cardholders only for 3 weeks and renew twice if no holds are pending. You can find them along the side wall in the Children’s Area between the windows and near the Theme Kits.
