Sleepy Little Bear Mary Ryan

Sleepy Little Bear Bethany Bear has a problem. She likes to play with her toys after she goes to bed. Now, today she has to get up and go to school. All day long she keeps falling asleep and missing all the good parts of her day. I wonder if Bethany will stay up playing with her toys ever again? Bethany's story is meant to help young children learn about choices and how they affect their lives. Sharing Bethany's story with your children offers an opportunity for a general discussion with them, both about choices as well as the importance of parents guidence. Of course, if you share this story with a child who has the same problem as Bethany, it offers an opportunity to discuss that problem with the child in a setting that helps them to better understand.
