I created the very first Toddler Prep book for my then 2-year-old daughter, Claire. Like any toddler, new experiences could easily overwhelm her, and I often found myself struggling to help her manage her fear and anxiety. 

After much trial and error (and more than a few tantrums!) I learned the best way to make sure we had smooth experiences was to help her understand exactly what to expect beforehand.

But existing books, which used cutesy cartoons and language, didn’t resonate with Claire. So, I began printing little booklets at home with real photos and simple language. As her fear and anxiety began to decrease and her confidence in new situations increased, our family could finally begin to relax and have fun! 

I began sharing our prep booklets with our friends who had toddlers, and they, too, reported their little ones loved the books, asking to read them again and again. And just as important, they were experiencing fewer and less intense tantrums. These books really worked! 

I realized we needed to share these books with a wider audience, and so I launched ReadySetPrep in 2021. Since then, over 50,000 families in more than 20 countries around the world have benefited from our Toddler Prep books, with five-star reviews and glowing testimonials to match.
