About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child begins gaining more independence but lacks the impulse control to stay safe in the neighborhood. Whether it is a new bike, a pair of skates, or simply playing further from the front door, this story helps bridge the gap between a child's desire for adventure and a parent's need for precaution. It follows Brother and Sister Bear as they learn that safety rules are not meant to spoil the fun, but to ensure the fun continues without injury. Through the relatable Bear family dynamic, children see the consequences of being reckless and the value of listening to experienced guides like Papa and Mama Bear. This book is ideal for the 4 to 8 age range, offering a gentle, non-threatening way to discuss boundaries, personal safety, and the logic behind 'boring' rules. It is a practical tool for turning a lecture about safety into a shared family conversation.
