Story Inspiration
Energetic independent young children who are easily distracted sometimes struggle to find their place in the world. Criticized for their behavior, often pacified with wives' tales, tall tales, superstitions, and general misinformation, these children yearn for sensible explanations to help them learn about such things as cause and effect, consequences, safety, friendship, cooperation, and a host of other important life skills. Like most children, these children want to please, however, some may find it difficult to follow convention. Love, patience, and understanding will help counter these innate tendencies and provide an important foundation for their growth and success. With positive feedback and opportunities to instill a sense of accomplishment, these young children will thrive.
