Why do children LOVE Kelly Bear?
In the four books, Feelings, Behavior, Health, and Earth, Kelly Bear shares his feelings and experiences FIRST and then asks children about their lives. These books are to be read by a parent, teacher, counselor, or other adult with a child or children.
After reading each question, children respond as though they are conversing with Kelly Bear, so it is easier for them to speak openly. When the adult listens carefully and repeats what the child says, the child feels valued and accepted. The resulting adult-child communication and bonding fosters the child's self-confidence. The Kelly Bear books further children's social, emotional, physical and intellectual development.
