Content Consideration
Love is important for every person, especially for a child developing from infancy to adulthood: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. It is important for children to know that having a loving personality or being loved can lead them to feel warm and the body to become lighter, as sunlight is always glittering all around them. There is no geographical limitation for one to nurture love. Children feel safe and strong, and they become more enthusiastic to share love with others.
It is important for children to know that no matter where they go, there are parents, teachers, and friends who love them forever.
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.
