These blogs have plenty of ideas and ways that you can teach, talk about and engage your children in learning about and being a good friend. Most children like to learn from visuals and doing, which is how I prefer because I then internalize what the lessons are and remember them more clearly. My very favorite quote is by Benjamin Franklin,

TELL me and I forget. TEACH me and I remember, INVOLVE me and I learn. And there is nothing that holds more true!

The Travel Pal is a visual that invites you in to learn about our pal, Friendship Frog. We can't wait to meet you!
