Bear Hugs, Not Bites

Note to parents:
Baby Bear bites his friends when he's feeling upset or frustrated. Mama Bear teaches him how to express his feelings and use words instead of biting. Children will learn about emotions and how to communicate effectively.

Meet Baby Bear, he's cute as can be, But when he's upset, he bites, you see. His friends are afraid to play with him, They run away when he starts to grin.

Mama Bear knows what to do, She wants to help her baby through. She sits him down and says with care, "Biting your friends is not fair."

Baby Bear doesn't understand, He just wants to play with his friends on the sand. Mama Bear explains with a smile, "Use your words, it's worth a try."

So Baby Bear tries to express, The feelings inside that cause him stress. He says, "I'm mad, I want to play with the ball," His friends nod and toss it, playing all.

Baby Bear learns to communicate, Using words instead of his bite rate. He tells his friends how he really feels, And they play together, with laughs and squeals.

With every new situation,
Baby Bear uses verbal communication. He says "please" and "thank you" with a grin,
Now his friends are liking him.

Mama Bear is proud of her little guy, He's come so far, she can't deny.
She kisses him and hugs him tight,
And now it's time to say good night.
