How to Stay Safe featuring Sparkelina is the fifth book in the award-winning emotional intelligence book series. It is a fun and easy teaching tool designed to introduce common safety lessons to young children. Sparkelina and her friends demonstrate "safe" and "not safe" approaches to dangers found in the home and outside world. Both "safe" and "not safe" scenarios are illustrated with pictures and given simple, clear explanations.
KINDERWISE(R) was founded by a dedicated mother based in Southern California. She noticed that much of what she taught her child could be described as "The How-To's of Life!" She wanted to present these subjects in a way that children would remember.
With this in mind she developed an EQ book series and other products featuring SPARKELINA(R) (a young girl), BUSYBEE (a giant bee), and SOPHIE (a pink elephant). This dynamic trio suddenly find themselves having to get along in the world for the first time. The friends learn valuable lessons in this wonderful new place. Experiencing life through the eyes of these characters allows children to learn in a fun and interactive way. This is the central concept of Kinderwise(R).
Parents and educators may also use their reading time as a conversation starter and delve into the real-life experiences of their children by using the "Suggested Reading Methods" outlined at the beginning of the book. How to Stay Safe featuring Sparkelina can be used just for fun or as a teaching tool in a classroom setting, therapy group, or home.
