Simon the Self Control Seal

by Kyri Demby

In Simon the Self-Control Seal, children ages 3-6 become aware of their bodies and impulses by learning a technique for self-control that can be used in any situation or environment. Kids love to learn through playing and Simon starts the learning and leads by example. Some children take a longer time to develop this skill, so parents can help by setting clear expectations for behavior, identifying their child's feelings and rewarding good self-control. If your child is struggling with self-control due to hyperactivity, anxiousness, spatial awareness or immaturity this book is a great tool.
Simon is a seal who always makes good choices because he uses self control. If you're having a little trouble following the rules and making good choices, you should use Simon's little trick for controlling himself. He sings his little song; "Stop, think, and breathe, and make the right choice"! After you learn this trick, you will have a great time everywhere you go. As one of the many Demby's Playful Parables, Simon the Self Control Seal let's you know how to always make right choices as you become an example for all the other students at your school. Then maybe someone will write a book about YOU!

Self control is appreciated everywhere. In this comic Simon is somebody who is continually making the best choice and using sound judgment. He adheres to all the guidelines. Yet, nobody is wonderful then how "Simon" consistently figure out how to do that??

"Stop, Think and Breathe and make the right choice". Simon used this song as a trick in all the situations where it was hard to decide he would sing this to himself & would act accordingly.

I cherished this book - because it explains the power of observance & patience. I prescribe everybody to peruse this short book and learn beneficial things with Simon.

Lastly, Kyri Demby is an Author and Educator with a profound comprehension of music and how to associate with understudies through the intensity of sound and workmanship.

🌸The story talks about the seal whose name is "Simon". He is someone who is always doing the right thing and making good choices. He follows all the rules.
But no one is perfect in making choices then how "Simon" always manage to do that??

🌸Simon had a trick that helped him, It was a little song that he kept in his memory -
🎶"Stop, Think and Breathe and make the right choice"🎶
So if are unable to make choices and following the rules, use Simon's trick and i am sure, if we all will apply that trick, we will never make wrong choices.

🌸The reason I loved this book - At every page, there is an event happening with Simon and the story well described the ways he tackle the situation and doing the right things. I recommend everyone to read this short book and learn good things with Simon.

This review is brought to you by both myself and my five-year-old niece, Nisa.
I loved Simon The Self Control Seal. He was smart and he listened to what his teacher said. He behaved himself on the bus too. I love the video on the internet and I love the song. Simon is smart.
And now from the adult, me.
Nisa loved the story and enjoyed the Youtube video that accompanied it. We read the book and watched the video together making it very interactive and enjoyable for her. She sang along with Simon at the appropriate spots and I am told by her mother that she has sung the song around the house. The book teaches a message about self-control which as we all well know is important.
