أواجه صعوبة كبيرة فيما يتعلق بالاعتذار مع الطفلين، فالأصغر يعلم أن الإعتذار وكلمة آسف ومرادفتها بالإنجليزية هي كلمة سحرية تنقذه من أي توبيخ أو عقاب فيستخدمها بإفراط وإن كرر نفس الخطأ لمرات فيكفيه أن يقولها مع رسمه تعبيرا طفوليا على وجهه ليهرب من العقاب، أما الأكبر فعنده صعوبة شديدة في الإعتذار خاصة لو كان الإعتذار يجب أن يوجه لأخيه الأصغر
كنت قد جربت أحد أعداد هذه السلسلة ونجحت معي في تعليم إبني الأكبر شيئا لطالما رغبت في تعليمه إياه، لذا لم أتردد فيما يتعلق بالحصول على هذا الكتاب للولدين
تدور القصة حول مجموعة من الأصدقاء (من الحيوانات وحشرة حلزون) يتعاونون معا في تجهيز مكان لعبهم، وكان الدب يريد مفاجأة الباقين بشئ لطيف في إطار تجهيز وتزيين المكان، ويستأمن فري على سره إلا أن فري يفشي السر ثم يتوجب عليه الاعتذار لصديقه
طبعا هنا علم الولدان أهمية عدم إفشاء الأسرار وأهمية الأمانة كما علما أهمية الاعتذار بصدق حتى لو كان الاعتذار لصديق (ند لصديقه) مع تركيز من جانبي على أهمية عدم العودة لتكرار الخطأ
Franklin the turtle and his friends are making a ship out of their tree house. Bear has a special surprise that he wants to share with his friends. But after telling and showing Franklin, Franklin then tells Fox and Fox tells Beaver and Snail. Upsetting Bear that Franklin didn't keep his secret. But in the end Franklin does go and talks with Bear and tells him he is sorry. This book helps teaches children how important it is to go and talk with your friends and say sorry if you have done wrong.
I love the Franklin books and enjoyed reading this book to my second grade class. It teaches a really good lesson about trust. Bear trusts Franklin with a secret, but Franklin tells his other friends and loses Bear's trust. Franklin has to admit he was wrong and tell Bear he was sorry. It has a good message. I love the bright illustrations and colors. The pictures are very detailed and make it fun to read.
Okay. Maybe this isn't the best book. Franklin breaks a promise. Bear is making a flag and Franklin promises not to tell anyone about it. But before you know it guess what? He tells someone! I would describe Franklin, (in my opinion) a naughty child. Though he's better in certain books. But to be honest, I kinda like FRANKLIN!
Well this ain't the best book but its pretty good. :)
This one was cute enough to hold my four year-old's attention through the whole story. It also taught a valuable lesson and I was glad that he understood it well enough to ask pertinent questions at the end.
