Who Can Convince a Swamp Monster to Take a Bath? 🫧
“Good morning, sweetheart! Have you washed your face?”
“Did you brush your teeth after breakfast?”
“It’s bath day today! Let’s start by trimming your nails.”
Out of all the living creatures on the planet, the human offspring takes the longest to learn to take care of itself without assistance. This implies that responsible adults have looong years ahead of them to instruct and convey. But could your efforts be as effective as the swamp monster Mr. Smelly’s experience?
We know that books play a significant role in children’s learning. Did you know that the situation is no different when it comes to personal care?
Children directly identify with the protagonists of the stories they read. They take their experiences as if they were their own and make deductions accordingly.
That’s why if you have a swamp monster at home who has yet to be acquainted with soap and water, or perhaps a frog that’s afraid of water, this list is just for you.
If you need to go over why and how we should care for ourselves, Kidly books are here to help!
