Little Bear

Little Bear is a beautiful story about the practice of self-compassion. It is gentle and kind and can easily be used to introduce our little ones to the practice of self-compassion. Their young hearts are so precious. The earlier we can introduce them to this practice, the more mindful they will become in the art of self-compassion and the power within. The story was collaborated with my darling twin girls.

Hello and welcome to the story about Little Bear. Once upon a time there was a little bear. He came across a sunflower. Imagine it was so big, Bright and yellow. He visited the beautiful sunflower every morning. And one morning a seed fell out of the sunflower. He took the seed and planted it to grow his own sunflower. He looked after and cared for the little sunflower. Until one day it grew into a bright and beautiful sunflower. Little Bear was so proud of growing his own sunflower. Little Bear learnt that we need to nurture the seeds planted in our hearts. And what are the seeds that are planted in our hearts? The seeds in our heart is love for myself and others, Self-respect for myself and others and gratitude for all things around us. How do we do this? We do this by noticing the beautiful things around us. What are some of the beautiful things that you can notice around you at the moment? We can also do this by noticing the gift of joy we have to offer to others. And this does not cost us a thing. All it needs is for us to remember that we are magical. And we have a special power to create beauty around us just like Little Bear did with the sunflower he nurtured, Loved and cared for. So on, Shine bright like the sunflower and have a magical day.
