Book Cover & Preview Text
Wrap Me Up! "Ms. White, can you tell me why Charity gets so fussy when its time for her to take a nap? I have tried everything to make her feel comfortable and secure”. Her diaper is dry and she has been fed; I don’t understand! "Take a small blanket and wrap her up snuggly with her little arms wrapped also.” “Hey up there, I like to feel like my mommy is right here with me, if you don’t mind”. Fact: Almost from the time of birth (0-6 months) and sometimes older, like to be wrapped up by being “swaddled”-- a technical term used to give them a sense of being enclosed similar to the way they were in their mommies womb. So if your baby is fussy when its nap time or bed time, swaddle them. I almost guarantee, it will do the trick.

About the Book
This book is the next best thing to "Dr. Spock". My book gives parents, educators and anybody who is interested in the growth and development of children and what they are trying to say even if they cannot yet talk. This is why I decided to name my book "Hey Up There, I'm Down Here". If you want answers to some of your baffling questions about your child that you just don’t understand, you can e-mail me at "joyandpain504@aol.com".
About the Author
My name is C.L.Martin and I wrote this book. My love for children (especially babies) has inspired me to write a lot of what I have learned and observed over the past 30 years about children and their growth and development. I have obtained several levels of education in this area and I have worked in the capacity of assistant teacher to being a director of a childcare center. Also I have obtained a degree in Human Services. I grew up in a period of time when life was simple,with 2 sisters and to brothers and life was good. I wanted to be a pediatric nurse growing up but I started working working a part time job at a daycare center and it propelled me into my lifetime career of working with children from the ages of 6 weeks to adolescent. I have several hobbies which includes reading, writing, crafting and singing. I live in the great city of Washington DC where i have lived since i was 3 years old. I have one daughter who has grown up to become a fine young lady. Through the years I have been known as "Miss Martin, Miss Carrie and fondly Miss Kitty(my nickname).
