Behavior
New storytime readers often are concerned about having a child who won't sit still or one that won't listen during the storytime. Don't worry too much if the younger babies and toddlers don't seem to be paying attention; you will be surprised how much they will retain. For example, if a toddler sits with his back to you or is wandering around the perimeter, he or she will still remember much of what you said. So long as a child's behavior isn't hurting the experience for others, don't let it bother you. That doesn't mean you have to put up with noisy kids or talking parents however. I often will ask, "Could the parent help me with this child, I am not sure everyone can hear (or see)?" That often will lead the parent to hold the child on his or her lap so the noise or distraction will stop, yet it doesn't embarrass the parent. I try to phrase things in a positive say so it doesn't come across as a list of "don'ts." For example, instead of a rule saying "No toys or food allowed," you could say "Save toys and snacks until after storytime because you need your hands free for the fingerplays." You may also have to state the obvious: "No cell phones" and "Stay in the library" are two rules parents need spelled out for them even though many of us would take those rules for granted. Also, singing a song between each story allows for latecomers to grab a seat or for people to reposition themselves to a more comfortable seat. Having volunteers can also be a great help at storytime; they can usher latecomers to their seats or help with children who cannot find their caregivers.
