My Child Is Too Clingy! Barnaby's Bubble of Space Tool for Respecting Personal Boundaries

Описание: Are They Too Close? This story teaches the powerful tool, The "Bubble of Space", to help your child understand and respect personal boundaries and others' need for room. If your kids frequently get too close or touchy, struggle with understanding "no" or "stop", or need a visual strategy to manage their closeness, this is the simple, emotional regulation technique you need. This is the cure for The Clingy Cloud.

STORY SUMMARY : This essential SEL story teaches children the crucial skill of Respecting Personal Boundaries in friendships, using the simple, empowering tool: The "Bubble of Space"! Meet Barnaby the Badger, who is clouded by "The Clingy Cloud"—the feeling that makes him get too close and poke his friend Harry the Hedgehog, even when Harry is uncomfortable. Mama Badger teaches him how to clear the cloud by using the powerful three-step tool: Stop the Cling, See the Bubble (imagining a personal boundary), and Respect the Room! Barnaby learns that giving friends space helps them feel safe and respected, making the friendship stronger. This narrative provides children with a clear, actionable strategy for developing social awareness, empathy, and improving their friendship skills.
