Not Better Not Worse Just Different

When children are VERY young, they will usually make friends with anyone & everyone. This includes other children, adults of all ages, animals & even stuffed toys! They do not discriminate because of age, sex, race, intelligence, physical difference, or brand labels worn. Somewhere along the way, however, they learn that people are different & that society places higher value on certain physical traits. This can cause children to be unkind to one another, stare at differences, & tease unmercifully. NOT BETTER... NOT WORSE... JUST DIFFERENT is a beautifully illustrated, skills-based book that teaches children ages 5 to 10 to be kind to one another! Using his animal friends, Nicholas, the Cocker Spaniel co-author, presents specific steps for accepting all types of differences. Children will learn how to respect & accept one another regardless of learning or physical differences, race, or sex. To reinforce the learning, the last chapter contains real-life examples & practice sessions. This provides a safe environment for children to integrate these important skills that will further their development in becoming sensitive, kind individuals.Scott, Sharon is the author of 'Not Better Not Worse Just Different' with ISBN 9780874251951 and ISBN 0874251958.
