A Lesson In Noticing What's The Same And What's Different Using a Handful of Toy Bears

We develop the life skills Seeing & Reframing when we look at a handful of bears and notice what's the same and what's different.

The lesson is built on a children's book about friendship by Chris Raschka entitled Yo! Yes? (apologies to the author for mispronouncing his name in the video). The characters are two boys - one is an introvert and the other an extrovert. Together we notice the many ways that they are the same and different. We talk about ways that our friends and family members are the same and different. We wrap up by noticing that even though people might be different than us in some ways, it doesn't take long to find the things we have in common too.
