I kept the Berenstain Bear books from when I was a kid and now my 6 year old read them. The are all great books to start a conversation with your child about the topic.In this one, a very familiar situation arises between young friends (both want control and get in a fight. Mama Bear talks with Sister and asks her to consider her friend's feelings. Then the situation is resolved when the friend comes over to return a favorite toy.These books aren't meant to offer coping strategies or tell the kids how to handle the situation but they are great to help get a conversation started between parents and kids and start the problem-solving process in the child.
This book is good for the age rage from 3-6 years, who are just making friends at school and in their neighboorhood.Sister bear has Lizzy move in next door and they become friends, and learn that sometimes friends have fights, but that a friend is good to have despite their differences.This book teaches kids that even when friends have differences and fights they need to overcome their differences and still be friends.
I gave this book a 5 star review because it teaches children that arguing and fighting is not the way to solve your probleems you have to talk through them. This book also has a lot of pictures that kids would like.
I love the Berenstain Bears books for my kids. Such fun educational stories. My kids get very upset when I buy one of these books, but when I start reading they sit quietly next to me and then start bringing me other Berenstain Bears books to read. They do love them, we usually read about 3-5 books at a time.
The world lost a real gem of a writer when Stan Berenstain passed on November 29. Together, Berenstain and his wife, Jan, and eventually their two sons, created books featuring lovable but flawed characters who tackle just about every real issue that faces families.All kids (and most adults) have some trouble when it comes to making friends and maintaining friendships. It's not always easy! This book can help open up a good dialogue with your kids about what friendship means, how to be a good friend, what to do when you have problems with friends, and so on. It tells the story in a gentle way that kids will find not only informative, but entertaining and even funny, as well. Wonderful!
Thought this was a good subject for our 4 year old daughter. The books discusses how meeting someone new is exciting but when you have two strong willed individuals...then compromise is often the remedy. Trying to teach our daughter early about compromise but also wanting her to know that no one should be able to take advantage of her either. I recommend...
My little bossy 6yr old daughter loves to read this story. i think it has helped opened the conversation about being bossy and how to be a better friend. I also bought Franklin is Bossy and Little Miss Bossy. I'm trying!
I love this book! It's nearly my story with most of my friends. Although, we never physically wrestled. This is a story about friends having a row and making up nearly a minute later. This is one of the best stories.
