Have you met our character Behavior Bear? Teaching our children about good behaviors can be a challenge at times. I know as a young mom, I said to my kids, "Behave yourself" if they went to grandma and grandpas, or a friends home. Now I stop and ask myself, "What does that even mean"
Our kids have no idea because we didn't stop and talk about good behaviors in the open. When, not if, but when, they misbehaved they were corrected, but, did they know what it even meant to have good behavior? I don't think so. As an adult, I've learned so much about teaching children the meaning of our nine animal characters and I'm passing it along to you!
Our kids need to taught, spoken to, have conversations with, etc. and keep in mind that this generation is very communicative! They want to be heard and seen and to share their feelings, so it's that much easier for us!
These Characters of Character are friendly, relatable and here for you to use as tools to teach your own children, grandchildren, students, etc. what it means to have good character!

We hope you take the time to talk with your children about being of good character and modeling this in your own daily life. They are listening. They are watching you. And, they want to most likely be just. like. YOU! Make good choices!
