Content Consideration
To be brave is not about doing all the things without awareness of the consequences. Instead, bravery is a sustainable habit and personal development for children to embrace a spirit of adventure and do things that they are planning to do but afraid to try.
Secondly, bravery also means sincerity. Children learn to speak the truth honestly and kindly to others without distracting from the actual meaning and facts. They also learn to be kind even when facing rejection. The power of truth is vital to prevent things from finally turning out to be an uncontrolled condition.
Thirdly, bravery also means accountability. Children need to accept and speak out about self-mistakes without any ignorance. Children learn that regretting self-mistakes does not mean they are being disturbed. Instead, it can lead children to a clearer and more successful path.
The same as the Poppy O’ Neill children’s social learning series, each book of Paula’s When I Am introduces a single behavior that guides parents and teens to have a basic understanding of what is important for them in their life development.
Paula’s When I Am series does not include any activities. Instead, by using simple language with lots of anime, the books are more appealing to teen’s interests and enable them to easily understand the meaning in different cognitive behaviors.
